Vacation and fixed salary: an Argentine city has managed to convert street window cleaners into employees of a company

In Córdoba, Argentina, a collaborative initiative between the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN), the city government, a foundation, and a local firm has transformed street windshield cleaners into registered employees. The program was launched after provincial authorities banned the activity, leaving many without income. Ángel Caro, a former street worker who had been cleaning windshields since he was 15, now works eight hours a day at a green space maintenance company with a fixed salary, benefits, and paid vacations. He credits two municipal workers who offered him a gardening course leading to his new employment. The project aims to provide stable jobs to others in similar situations.
