American Company to Resort to Violence in Argentina?
Tension at Ingenio Tabacal - the American Company Would Clear Out Workers Using Violence
Workers reported that Ingenio San Martin del Tabacal was found taking violent measures under the administration of the American Seaboard Corporation.
They are asking for better salaries and recognition by the Ingenio administration of the elected assembly delegates and also for a promise that the company will act against the union leaders who do not support the workers in protest. These demands are being backed up by what the workers have told Copenoa is an intention to resist possible forceful removal.
It was also claimed that yesterday a fumigator plane spread out supposed toxic substances over the manifestation overtaking the company. And that the ex official of Governor Juan Carlos Romero, Manager of Institutional Relations for the multinational, Guillermo Jakulica, provoked a group of women that were supporting the protest when they intended to enter by forcefully opening the doors of the company.

The Ava Guarani Community reclaims their land expropriated by the American transnational Seaboard Corporation.
An Ava Guarani Community of Argentina is campaigning to reclaim its land usurped on the 16th of September 2003 by the San Martin del Tabacal Sugar Manufacturing Company, subsidiary of the transnational American Seaboard Corporation, after an attempt to partly relocate the displaced community from their ancestral place decades ago.
The Ava Guarani El Tabacal Community returned this Saturday to its ancestral territory of La Loma, in the town of Saltena de Hipolito Irigoyen with the support of organizations such as Friends of the Argentine Land and others
The company spoke this December 15th with Friends of the Argentine Land to express their concern over the great quantity of emails that they were receiving.
This is one of the parts of the campaign in which the community and different organizations ask for recognition of the Ava Guarani land and that justice prevails in the case of those who acted violently.
The words of Guillermo Yakúlica, the representative of the company, show the brutality with which he operates the company that is owned by the transnational North American Seabord Corporation.
Perhaps because they are dark skinned, with dark eyes, they have more rights to the land than the company? So many elderly, women, and children, none are saints, they looked tough, they were going crazy, and some rubber stick blows didn't do them harm, he said.
The representatives of the indigenous community returned after seven intense days of being interviewed by many officials.
The minister of social development, Alicia Kirchner, headed one of the most important meetings, which ended in a promise to send a delegation to the province that will include representatives of the National Institute of Indigenous Issues and the Secretary of Human Rights.
Currently, an investigation is being lead into the violent eviction of September 16th, the judicial cause, and the territorial conflict with the Company, Ingenio San Martin del Tabacal.
