The industry of the streaming It continues to expand, but unlike traditional television, it does many times Apart from labor regulations current. A new episode of this problem occurred in the streaming channel Blenderwhen its director, Diego abatechola, prevented admission of the Argentine television union, audiovisual, interactive and data services (Satsaid) during a joint inspection with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires.
The survey, carried out by the SATSAID Intermediate Commission together with the Buenos Aires Labor Directorate, sought to verify the working and security conditions in the channel facilities. However, although initially, irregularities were detected, such as blocked emergency exits and expired matafuegos, the inspection was abruptly interrupted when Abatechola arrived at the building and prohibited the union’s access.
An expansion industry, but without regulation
Traditional television operates under a regulatory framework that protects workers through collective agreements, guaranteeing basic rights in labor safety and hygiene. Nevertheless, The rise of streaming channels has generated a vacuum in regulationallowing many of these new producers to operate without complying with the same standards.
Blender, known for his Peronist profile, and for issuing programs such as Intermittent breakfast, I listen to offers and There is something thereand which has as a figure Guille Aquino and Tomás Rebordhas been repeatedly indicated by the satsaid for not adhering to the Collective Labor Agreement 634/11, which governs television and audiovisual productions. This union claim has been resolved for more than a year and a half, which shows the lack of will of the company to regularize the situation of its workers.
The role of the State and the next steps
The fact that the Government of the City of Buenos Aires has participated in the inspection indicates an official recognition of the problem. Nevertheless, The lack of immediate sanction to Blender highlights the difficulty of enforcing regulations when it comes to new platforms.
From the satsaid they have assured that they will continue to press so that Blender workers are registered correctly and their job security is guaranteed. In a context where streaming advances strongly as an alternative to television, the regulation of the sector is a pending debt that cannot continue to postpone.
