Centenary club from all over the country They are going through a complicated economic situation that makes them shake. The reason is not the large loss of members or the inability to meet the high costs of electricity and water bills, but an increase in demands that the clubs themselves describe as unprecedented and surprising. the: His former golf caddies initiated labor charges for “disguised trust relationships against the clubs.”
Yes, the same ones who for decades have been carrying the bags and accompanying their colleagues on tours, decided to turn to a group of labor lawyers based in the Federal Capital, which is the one that implements the processes judicially. The issue was raised in the newspaper La Nación at the end of August, where the scale of the trials and the millions of dollars the clubs had to face were revealed. What is the focus of the conflict? The caddies have filed charges for a “disguised employment relationship,” something the clubs have denied. “The kadi is a self-employedwho maintains a relationship with the player when he comes to play, but that relationship is never at the club. There are thousands of cases where The caddy disappears for three months and from one day to the next they appear again. There is no employment relationship,” said a source who knows the situation well and who is more inclined to think that “this is a political issue where there are many irregularities.”

the including politics in that matter because almost 100% of the tests initiated by the caddies are in charge of studio Montenegro, Pávito & Asociados.

Ridiculous debts
The source consulted by PERFIL CÓRDOBA maintains that since the jurisdiction of the acquisition is the City of Buenos Aires, the updates of the amounts determine that the figures are “joking.” As reported at the time by La Nación, The Jockey Club faces 210 ongoing processes, the Olivos Golf Club has about 40 cases now with many cases “conforming.“. In the case of the Hindu Club there were 10 cases that brought it to the doors of preventive bankruptcy and they started selling assets. From the institution they assure that the caddies “are never employees of the club” and that “they are allowed to work for the golfers, who are only 10% of the members.”
In Córdoba, the most emblematic case is represented by Cordoba Golf Cluban entity sued by six caddies in 2021 for a total of $211 million. However, applying the current updating system of the National Chamber of Labor Appeals, that amount has now been increased to $2.7 billion.
The president of Córdoba Golf, Rodolfo de Ferrariassured that “if the partners decide to face this situation, They must pay a fee of US$3,700counting minors.” “But if the partners decide not to face the sentences of their money, the entity must be liquidated, with 101 years and it is a real SME in Villa Allende, because of the direct and indirect work it does. In fact, I don’t know how many companies provide as much work to the area as Córdoba Golf,” De Ferrari told La Nación.

One of the aspects that De Ferrari criticizes about the actions of the Justice is that “the natural jurisdiction for the acquisition of these characteristics is Córdoba, but it is clear that the payment of such a figure is not supported. Not only because because there is no trust relationship, but because these are crazy numbers.
Why did the complaints fall in Caba, a place where all the lawyers consider that the labor justice is “brutal”? “Because the caddies, in their demands, include the Argentine Golf Association, which makes things more complicated,” he pointed out. What’s more: around golf it is common knowledge that a good portion of claims presented by caddies can be “bought” by lawyers for a number that is much lower than what will be spent by the studios.
A possible solution?
Although they know that it will be difficult for the claim clubs to reach the Supreme Court, some are hopeful that there will be a decision from Supreme Court of Justice of the Province of Buenos Aireswhich proved that the suit was for the removal of the caddies from the Palihue Golf Club in Bahía Blanca is rejected.
The court determined that the caddies failed to prove a fiduciary relationship with the club, “because their services benefit only the golfer, not the institution. In addition, the payment comes from the golfer himself, who receives a advice or instruction from the caddy during the game.”
The decision of some caddies to sue the clubs is “killing the profession,” said the director of a club in Córdoba. “Unfortunately, no club has let the caddies in because they can immediately file a lawsuit, we believe they are being advised by lawyers who are taking advantage,” he told this medium. In the golf world they are called “the caranchos of the green”.
