In its early days in government, José Mujica said that two years would freight trains circulating "at sixty miles per hour," but halfway through that period there is little hope that this promise is fulfilled. Despite the economic boom current government lacks sufficient funds to relaunch AFE why you need the private sector contributions.
It seeks to create a public company under private law for the transport of cargo and passengers. With this flexibility would facilitate the association and private sector participation, which would modernize the fleet of trains and make good the railways and to improve the finances of the rail body today have an annual deficit of nearly $ 14 million , paid by taxpayers.
While the Ministries of Economy and Transport developed the project, the AFE guild is up in arms against what they denounced as "a covert privatization." Is that the Railway Union opposes any attempt to alter the situation statutory body for fear that such changes affect the job security or working conditions. So between their control measures and completed the withdrawal from the guild's current vice president of AFE, Juan Silveira, while threatening further action.
This repeats the case of a corporation, folded in defense of their perceived interests, slowing the growth in an area as essential as transport in agricultural exporter. Such situations occurred before, eg in the port, when the pressures of a guild for years delayed the inevitable reform. Will the same with AFE and miss the train?
