Overview
- Workers opened turnstiles at Federico Lacroze on Wednesday in a health and safety protest on Line B while trains continued operating.
- AGTSyP alleges the concessionaire Emova recently carried out illegal interventions on asbestos‑contaminated Mitsubishi components, dispersing fibers and endangering passengers and staff.
- The union is demanding that the Buenos Aires City Government declare an Operational Emergency to accelerate fleet replacement, track renewal, full maintenance programs and complete de‑asbestization.
- Emova rejected the allegations, linked the dispute to its decision not to confirm an employee after probation, and says it followed required procedures and runs an asbestos control plan.
- After the action, union leaders said they remain on alert and have voted further measures, including possible task stoppages next week that could reduce service frequency if there is no response.
