The head of the labour portfolio said that “Corrientes should be included in the national project, which generated growth in all the provinces, and strengthening in the industry and the domestic market. The Nation relies on a labour policy which is not implemented in Corrientes, as the province does not wish to articulate with the National Government. However, in the community area, in this capital city of Corrientes, we were able to work, especially regarding youngsters’ insertion.” Tomada particularly expanded on the problem of youngsters’ emigration in search of better personal and job opportunities, where Corrientes is one of the provinces where the problem is turning more serious. “Emigration in Corrientes has to be stopped; the province should be full of opportunities and —why not— recover those who left,” the Minister said. The official also spoke about recent agreements signed by Entre Ríos and Chaco provinces for the programme “Back to Town,” intended to bring professionals or people who were trained in other places back to their places of origin. To conclude, the Minister spoke about the concern raised by “Camau” Espínola with regard to the lack of peer review boards for the public sector in the province, by asserting that “a peer review board is the most democratic institute of collective bargaining, especially in the public sector. They are fundamental; workers must have guarantees and safety. I am aware that when Camau take over as Governor these policies will extend to the whole province.” Press Bulletin Dirección de Prensa y Comunicaciones Leandro N. Alem 650, piso 11.
