Fracasa audiencia en Fate y gobierno fija nueva fecha

La audiencia entre la empresa Fate, el sindicato SUTNA y el gobierno terminó sin acuerdo este lunes en la Secretaría de Trabajo. Bajo la conciliación obligatoria vigente, se suspenden los despidos mientras se agenda un nuevo encuentro para el 4 de marzo. La tensión persiste en el sector de neumáticos ante el anuncio de cierre de la planta.

La industria del neumático en Argentina enfrenta un pico de incertidumbre tras el anuncio de Fate de cesar operaciones la semana pasada. Este lunes 23 de febrero de 2026, la audiencia convocada por la Secretaría de Trabajo, en el marco de la conciliación obligatoria, reunió a representantes de la empresa y del Sindicato Único de Trabajadores del Neumático Argentino (SUTNA), pero finalizó sin resolución positiva. El encuentro buscaba preservar puestos de trabajo y continuidad productiva, aunque terminó con un acta desierta de acuerdos.

El Ministerio de Capital Humano emitió un comunicado oficial confirmando el estancamiento: "no ha sido posible arribar a un acuerdo entre las partes". Para agotar instancias administrativas y evitar el cierre definitivo, la Secretaría de Trabajo dispuso una nueva convocatoria para el miércoles 4 de marzo a las 11:00 horas. El ministerio reiteró que "continuará promoviendo los espacios de negociación entre las partes, en resguardo del empleo, la actividad productiva y el cumplimiento de la normativa laboral".

Desde el gremio, liderado por Alejandro Crespo, se mantiene un estado de alerta, calificando la situación como un "chantaje" patronal. La empresa, por su parte, argumenta una falta de competitividad estructural debido a costos operativos elevados y caída en la demanda, en un contexto de retracción general del sector industrial. Mientras tanto, la conciliación obligatoria sigue vigente, suspendiendo los despidos anunciados.
