Moyano accuses CFK of 'betraying' workers

The head of the anti-government CGT labour union Hugo Moyano, spoke out this morning in front of the Labour Ministry, accusing the Kirchnerite government of 'betraying' the workforce.

"They hate me but the truth is that they're also a bit scared of me."

Hugo Moyano, made the statements on the steps of the Labour Ministry to where he and members of the teamsters union a march.

Earlier the labour union leader spoke out in reply to Carlos Tomada’s statements bashing the teamsters union's nationwide blockade on wholesale supermarkets, and said that the government official was “the biggest traitor” in regard to the organization.

“There is a whole attitude toward our organization. We have to find ways to get through what is thrown our way. The only person I kneel before is God. We will not falter or flake!”

Moyano made the statements during an interview this morning with Mitre radio prior to the march.

Yesterday the teamsters union, led by Hugo Moyano's CGT, continued to blockade wholesale supermarkets, blocking entrances and exits to 30 out of 32 Maxiconsumo stores nationwide, in a move designed to pressure the company into changing the union registration of its workforce into a union allied with Moyano.
