With his strength and moved production to the local economy and national. Nature had blessed with abundance and overwhelmingly won a reputation for drunken, profligate and philandering; in contrast, were very few who were screened had a future, invested their money and saved bread for May.

Currently, those who remain active only work less than one month a year, do not get the money they received before and the state has enacted laws that work against their rights, so much so that many of these men can not retire and receive a decent pension for the rest of his days.

We are referring to the fishermen, who unfortunately just noticed that the Law 30003, was harmful and vulnerable to them when this had already been regulated, was in effect.

UP IN THE AIR. It happens that this law states that for fishers to retire must be 25 years of contributions and these should be 15 times a year. But that's not all because the law does not guarantee that a fisherman who has achieved an insured retirement lifetime pension.

However, there are more because the law states that there must be a precise amount of pension for each retiree and if this expescador perceived between 2000, 3000 and even 6000 soles a month, your pension will be reduced to 660 suns indicating law.

Only in Chimbote are 11,000 fishermen who can not retire due to low catch levels recorded shoal, not only in this fishing season but in the past, prevent them from complying with the tax weeks required by Law 30003.

HOW TO REVERSE THAT. The Secretary General of the Union of Fishermen and Allied Chimbote, Baltazar Machuca Quispe says that dirigencial level is doing all the necessary steps to ensure that regulations are modified standard or at least change it other than harmful to the fisherman.

One of the first proposals that have raised Leaders is to request a meeting with the Minister of Labour, Freddy Otarola, asking him to report at what stage is the agreement of the Multisectoral Committee that he posed in 2012 and is recognized and maintained in Effective collective agreement pay 85 year fishing 22.4% per tonne of anchovy.

NO CUMPLEN. “Unfortunately there are few companies that meet this agreement. There is such a mess that some companies pay 20%, 18%, and up to 14% per tonne of fish. Now if achieved that companies pay 22.4% would be given a refund for fishermen who go directly to fund their retirement is forcing”Said the leader.

Machuca said that to achieve the collective agreement of 22.4% as a share of fishing, a national strike was held in 83 days which left one dead fisherman”He emphasized.

NO UNION. A control measure as remembered by the leader would be difficult to achieve today, as many of the unions that were active in different ports, are disabled and do guild life, because the fisherman is no longer interested demanding as before respect for labor rights. “To give you an idea, only the ports of Callao, Ilo, Paita and Chimbote unions are active in the rest of the country and there is no union, why is that the state abused Fisherman”, aseveró Machuca.

The leader also recalled that Decree Law 25593, which regulates freedom of association, collective bargaining and labor relations are regulated in 1992. “This was misused by people who had lust for power, because with 20 members you could form a union and two union federation, but did not realize that what they wanted was to create divisiveness among the working masses. There were other unions that created and placed at the service of the government of the day and that is why the fisherman has lost confidence in their leaders”He added.

CHANGE THE LAW. The other possibility that fishermen leaders are managing to avoid being harmed by Law 30003, is promoting a legislative citizen initiative to 65 thousand signatures of fishermen can apply to change this law. “We have already presented the project and are awaiting approval to purchase the kit at the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE), then there is hard work to travel to every port in the country for meetings with fishermen and convince them to sign the spreadsheets to change this disastrous law”, He said.

CRISIS. The situation is quite critical fishermen in our port. A shortage adds Anchovy bad weather has forced the closure of the port temporarily. Many families depend on this activity and are suffering.
