The Ombudsman's Office, Eduardo Mondino, released the results of an investigation into conditions in the passenger automobile transport long, short and mediadistancia.
"It has been determined - the ombudsman said - that 80% of companies authorized to perform this activity incurs repeated violacionesde the rules established to ensure the safety of its users.
Así, por ejemplo, el máximo de 8 horas, con posibilidad de ser extendido por otras 4 de carácter extraordinario, para que los conductores desarrollen sus tareas es habitualmente incumplido a través de lapsos mucho mayores a los permitidos ".
Otra de las infracciones mas frecuentes es la falta de presentación de los certificados de empadronamiento de las empresas en el registro respectivo y la inscripción de los conductores para ser dados de alta como tales ante la AFIP. Indicó Mondino que " incorporar un mayor número de unidades no fue acompañado con un incremento proporcional de choferes para conducirlas. Esto deriva en la ampliación de los horarios de trabajo .
In the city of Buenos Aires, in so far this year, irregularities were detected in 42%. Of the buses inspected internally on that basis amounted to 53.9% of inspections reported violations.
companies offered no evidence in his defense confirming the allegations put to them. The repeated violations over time leads to the conclusion that the penalties provided for are not currently provided to alleged economic benefit for the companies to transgress .
The Ombudsman noted that the agencies should increase the frequency and depth of the controls and the magnitude of the sanctions to be imposed.
Between 1 January and 22 March last, it was confirmed that many drivers and auxiliary personnel work longer than the legal time and do not have the hours of rest required. We also checked defaults in completing the work book of drivers and assistants on board, and the lack of grant of CHF in the months and lack of mandatory life insurance.
"Clearly, then, that excessive working hours is used in passenger motor transport long, short and mediadistancia as an effective tool to increase business revenue at the expense of established standards to ensure the safety of users, "concludes Mondino.
