Uncertainty and fear among former Caja Sullana workers due to possible job losses

Uncertainty and fear have taken hold of the 1800 workers of the former Caja Sullana, who are facing the imminent possibility of losing their jobs following the absorption of the entity by Caja Piura. Dozens of employees from the branches in Tumbes, Talara, Piura, and Sullana found themselves needing to raise their voices and protest in search of concrete answers about their job situation, which is hanging in the balance after learning that the sale of the institution does not include the transfer of its personnel.

The protest, which took place in Sullana, turned into an expression of discontent and concern on the part of these workers, who are demanding detailed information from the Superintendence of Banking and Insurance (SBS) about their job future. Amid banners and slogans, the employees gathered at the former Caja Sullana premises before marching towards the Sullana Municipality seeking support and mediation from local authorities.

The march covered various streets of the city, with strategic stops in front of Caja Piura and the main headquarters of the former Caja Sullana, where the workers expressed their dissatisfaction and disagreement with the way this absorption process has been carried out. The words of Iván Helguero Arámbulo, spokesperson for the workers, reflect the anguish and uncertainty that these families are experiencing as they see their sources of income and job stability at risk.

The lack of consideration towards the employees, many of whom have dedicated decades of effort and time to the former Caja Sullana, has generated deep unrest in the affected work community. The absence of labor protection measures in the contract signed between the SBS and Caja Piura has left these workers unprotected, as their needs and rights are not reflected in this transaction that would leave them jobless.

The question echoing among the protesters is clear: who will take responsibility for the consequences of this decision that will impact more than 1800 families? Concern for the immediate future and uncertainty about how these workers will face unemployment in an already adverse economic context are becoming increasingly urgent. The lack of clarity and transparency in the sale process of the former Caja Sullana has created a climate of uncertainty and distrust in a labor sector threatened by the loss of their jobs.

From the workers' perspective, the lack of support from entities such as the Ministry of Labor and Sunafil is perplexing, as their inaction in the face of a situation jeopardizing the stability and well-being of hundreds of workers is questioned. The demand for a prompt response and a fair solution for these employees has become the main demand of a protest seeking to bring attention to an issue directly affecting the work community of the former Caja Sullana.

Amid uncertainty and concern, the affected workers hold onto hope of finding a fair and equitable solution to this situation that threatens to leave hundreds of families without income. Solidarity and mutual support have become fundamental pillars for a work community fighting for their rights and to make their voices heard in a scenario marked by uncertainty and vulnerability. Pressure on the competent authorities and the need to find a solution that protects the interests and well-being of the workers remain central axes of a struggle aiming to confront an uncertain and challenging future for those who now see their source of livelihood threatened.
