DECRETO SOCIAL PREVISION No. 5,912 Ordinary retirement of ports, foremen and gynchers.

Bs. As., 4/9/72

VISTO the provisions of Article 64 of Law 18.037, and

CONSIDERING:

That the aforementioned legal rule authorizes the Executive Power to establish a regime that covers age and years of services and differential contributions and contributions, in relation to the nature of those activities that were painful, risky, unhealthy or determining old age or premature exhaustion.

That the Standing Advisory Commission established by Decree 5.006/71 for the study and analysis of the requests made for the application of differential retirement regimes, produced an office on the activity of the port styba.

That from the result of their studies, checks and analyses, the conclusion is drawn that the tasks performed by the harbour stowaway, whatever the load or merchandise they work with, are evidently risky and painful, since it is a form of physical work to which the mechanization has not arrived and that it is usually performed at a very intense rate in order to cover the production indices and obtain improvements of a wage nature.

That while these characteristics are characteristic of the activity of the stirrupter, they reach to a large extent the stybators, since they collaborate circumstantially in the handle of bags and packages, when it is necessary to maintain or increase the pace of work.

That there is another form of port activity, that of the trenches, understood by it the one that performs the direct loading and unloading of boat to land and vice versa, or between boats, which also deserves a differential treatment because of the special characteristics of mode and medium of work, risks for the worker and third parties, making it clear that it is not extended to those who handle means of direct load in stages prior to work.

That the circumstances set forth justify the adoption, for the staff of estibadores, foremen of estibadores and harbour scripts, of a differential regime in respect of retirement, with age limits less than those currently required.

That the provisions of this differential regime should deprive, in particular, of any other that might affect the activities in question, such as those of Decree 4.257/68.

Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION

RIGHT:
