Media workers seized periodically perform seedlings outside of TC Televisión.
The delivery of the compensation for the liquidation of former workers of the seized media that has been pending payment for more than a year and a half has not been fulfilled.
This debt also includes contributions to the IESS and the quotas of the mortgage and quirographic credits discounted from the payment role of the liquidated when they worked.
Through an Executive Decree November 227, 2017, the Public Company Coordinating Company transferred to the Public Media Public Company (EP Public Media) the ownership of the equity packages of TC Television, Gamavision, Uminasa Editorial, Cablevision, América Visión, Edimpresa and Mobility
This decree indicates that it considers these companies seized as private media, therefore EP Public Media obtained the obligations and rights, assets and liabilities of these communication chains, such as: Uminasa, Cablevisión, América Visión and Movidad that were closed and liquidated.
Twelve former workers of Uminasa were pending almost all of their liquidation since June 2018. 20 former employees of Cablevisión have not yet been liquidated since September 2018 between 35% and 45%. «We were promised to pay on December 20, but they said that the process was not done, that there was no money,» says the affected Eugenia Espinoza.
The liquidated ones of the Uminasa publishing house assure that the current manager of EP Public Media, Eduardo Velarde, indicated to them that the documentation is presented for processing to the Ministry of Finance, but the answer of this portfolio of State is that “there is a legal complexity, around of the management and closure of private companies that were seized by the previous Government ”.
«The appropriate legal solution will allow compliance with the obligations that these private media seized by the previous Government can meet their former workers …», says the entity.
Five Uminasa liquidated workers have mortgage loans, the discount made for ten months of their quotas does not appear in the IESS, says Alexandra Zambrano, “we also deducted ten months of contributions, but they did not pay them to the IESS, more than the installment fees unsecured loans, this prevents us from withdrawing severance and reserve funds, ”he insists.
The total joint settlements of both Uminasa that do not reach $ 200,000, and Cablevision are $ 260,000, indicate the former workers.
Velarde appeared last January 22 before the Workers’ Rights Commission of the Assembly, where he acknowledges his promise of payment last December, but asks for more time.
Velarde recently announced to a media outlet that «the necessary actions have been carried out in order to have a timely administration, which allows for the establishment of precise and clear mechanisms and alternatives that safeguard workers.»
