The different Unions in the construction Business

A few months ago, the construction field has been affected and has (consequently) frozen. This was produced by the obstacles imposed over imports and the currency exchanges, which has caused inversion over the different areas of the economy to stop, including construction.

After the economic downfall that Argentina suffered in 2001, one of the pillars that moved the country’s economy forward was construction. The reason why construction was so important can be seen by analyzing the great amount of unions and professionals that intervene in the construction business.

Within the construction field you can find workers, electricians, plumbers, gas fitters, engineers, architects, the whole personnel of the industries in charge of the elements used in construction, (including things like dumpsters, dump trucks, scaffoldings, beams, etc.), machinery industries and operators, among others. We cannot fail to mention that Argentina has a lot of construction companies, which have their own employees; plus, the ones who are in charge of selling these constructions: real estate agents.

So, as we can see, the number of Unions that is involved in this field is large, and if this activity freezes, the economy will do too. Moreover, construction is a key point when it comes to investment for an economy. It is a matter of promoting the construction investments or finding the way for it to start moving, in order to generate new jobs, and businesses, industries, etc. so that the whole economy starts moving forward.

So, as the construction field involves many unions, jobs and activities; it is necessary to find a way to put the field in motion, in order everything else moves.
