Sergio Aladio is an Argentine union leader and activist.[1][2] He is the current general secretary of the Santa Fe Truckers Union.[3]
Early life
editBorn in Bernal, Argentina, a suburb of Buenos Aires, Aladio relocated to Santa Fe at the age of 14 and began working in the trucking industry at 17 as an assistant to truck drivers, a role colloquially referred to as an "owl."[1][4]
Career
editAladio's career progressed from an entry-level position to union delegate, and eventually, he became a member of the Santa Fe Truckers Union during Marcelo Dainotto's leadership.[4]
In April 2014, the National Federation of Truck Drivers initiated a legal battle against the Santa Fe Truckers Union.[5][6] The conflict reached a significant point in 2020 when Chamber I of the National Chamber of Labor Appeals ruled in favor of an intervention against the Santa Fe Union, despite an appeal.[5] However, following an extraordinary appeal by Aladio, the Supreme Court of Argentina overturned the decision in February 2024, effectively ending the Santa Fe Union's affiliation with the National Federation after nearly a decade of litigation.[5][6][7]
In 2016, despite opposition from factions within the union, Aladio was elected as its head.[4] He subsequently led the union to disaffiliate from the national federation, asserting its autonomy.[1][4] This decision came amidst a broader context of political and labor disputes, including attempts by Hugo Moyano to establish a rival union in Santa Fe in 2019.[4]
In 2020, Aladio was re-elected as the leader of the Santa Fe Truckers Union.[8]
Aladio is known for initiating a proposal to amend Agreement 40/89, which governs automotive freight transportation, with the introduction of a severance fund specifically for Santa Fe truck drivers.[9] The fund would be sustained by a 3 percent monthly contribution from employers, intended to accumulate interest and assist in financing severance payments.[9]
