The Argentine government will not remain with arms crossed, they stated after the exchange. “Our vision of the conditions to generate greater labor formalization and create private employment,” the libertarians admitted 24 hours later. In action, they place the Minister of the Interior, Diego “El Colo” Santilli, who has expressed intentions to meet with the new triumvir of the central union. The truth is that both the central union and the libertarian administration seek to end informal work. According to what Argentine News Agency learned, the statements refer to the union leader's declarations, who participated in the Mayo Council last Wednesday and met with the presidential advisor, Santiago Caputo, in the offices he has on the first floor of the Casa Rosada. Buenos Aires, November 27 (NA) – After the head of the UOCRA (Construction Workers' Union), Gerardo Martínez, on behalf of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), was critical of the labor reform being worked on by the Executive Branch, the Casa Rosada assured that it is an “expected” stance and emphasized that there are “more agreements” than differences with the union leaders. “It’s what he had to say. There are more agreements because the labor movement and this government have the same interests,” an important voice told the Argentine News Agency about Martínez's statements. “We are talking about a labor modernization that addresses [issues] without losing rights,” countered the head of the UOCRA on the eve of the Mayo Council exchange last Wednesday. Although the statements did not sit well with the libertarian administration, as the final text is still being defined, some government actors are calm about the future of the relationship. They even expect the unions to take forceful measures as part of the necessary steps in their rejection, facing their union bases. The idea of maintaining ties does not overshadow President Javier Milei's will to advance in a labor promotion regime with its own characteristics. “We listen to everyone, but the final design is ours,” they challenged. #AgencyNA However, the dialogue is shared, and the presidential advisor also builds bridges with union leaders and maintains an “informal good relationship”. Extraordinary: The government defines the format and there is a tentative date to sign the decree. In Balcarce 50, they admit that “the devil is in the details” regarding the draft “modernization” of labor law, still pending presentation, which complicates negotiations with the CGT.
