The Liberty Advances (LLA) bloc was finalizing the details of the fight the ruling party will face to pass the labor reform, with which the Executive Branch seeks to promote job creation. To achieve this goal, Vice President Victoria Villarruel must assemble the Labor and Social Security Committee, where the first battle to get this initiative approved will take place. This initiative is rejected by Peronism, the CTA, and the CGT. Adorni announced this Tuesday that the 'definitive project' has not yet been published but said that 'what stands out the most is ultra-activity, priority of collective agreements, labor tax burden, and issues for self-employed and platform workers,' as well as the elimination of teleworking, which was promoted during the pandemic and, as he defined, 'did not have the desired effect.' Buenos Aires, Dec 9 (NA) – The CGT will hold its Board of Directors meeting next Thursday and will express an open rejection of the labor reform that the Government wants to debate in the extraordinary sessions of Congress. The triumvirate of Jorge Sola, Cristian Jerónimo, and Octavio Arguello called the CGT's Board of Directors to meet on Thursday at 12 at the Azopardo headquarters, where the bulk of the unionists will express a common position of rejection to the Government's project. Union sources informed the Noticias Argentinas agency after the head of the UOCRA and Secretary of International Relations of the CGT, Gerardo Martínez, was absent from the Council of May meeting, where the Government presented the conclusions on the projects it will send to Congress in extraordinary sessions and in the 2026 legislative period. Adorni announced that the Council of May projects will be sent to Congress. According to the Cabinet Chief, Manuel Adorni, the unionist did not arrive on time for the meeting because he was on a return flight from Washington, but his absence was seen as a snub by unionism due to the CGT's discontent for not being consulted on the labor reform. Jerónimo, one of the CGT's triumvirate, had warned at the beginning of the month that the reform promoted by the Government is 'regressive' and denounced in dialogue with Radio Rivadavia that there is 'lack of willingness' to call a negotiation space. 'Until the Government calls and builds a negotiation space together with the part we represent, the interests of the world of work, we will not agree with any regressive reform,' sentenced the leader, who is also the head of the Glass Workers' Union (SEIVARA). Meanwhile, the Senate is preparing to open the debate on the project in committee this week.
