Argentine Unions Announce Strike Against Labor Reform

Yesterday, the draft legislation that will be presented to the National Senate next week began to be circulated. "This is a market-oriented labor reform and the only purpose the government is pursuing is the disciplining of the workforce," said Aguiar. In line with this, he continued: "It is not true that they want to improve competitiveness, productivity, or that the economy will grow. The Association of State Workers (ATE), the most combative union against the president's government, announced a strike with a march to Congress for next Tuesday, December 9th. According to the secretary general, Rodolfo Aguiar, it will be against the labor reform promoted by the national government. That will not happen by taking away rights".
