Buenos Aires Subway Union to Open Line B Turnstiles Over Firing Dispute

The union says the worker was dismissed after reporting sexual harassment by a City Police officer.

Overview

  • Metrodelegados scheduled a turnstile opening Monday at 7 a.m. at Federico Lacroze on Line B, allowing free entry for morning riders to draw attention to their demand.
  • The action seeks the reinstatement of Araceli Pintos, a subte employee whose supporters say she was fired after reporting harassment at work.
  • Union leaders, including Claudio Dellecarbonara, say Pintos accused a City Police officer of harassing her on duty and later faced workplace abuse from company supervisors.
  • Emova, the private concessionaire, says the separation was an administrative decision after Pintos failed her probation period due to repeated task noncompliance.
  • Criminal complaints tied to the case are already in court, and the union warns it could escalate to service interruptions if the company does not respond.
