Buenos Aires, Dec 17 (NA) — CGT authorities on Wednesday criticized the labor reform pushed by President Javier Milei's government during the Senate's committee plenary session where the project is being discussed.
The first to speak was Jorge Sola, one of the triumvirate's members and secretary general of the Insurance Union, who said the initiative is not consulted with "the enormous number of employers waiting for modernization".
"The beginning of the law on bases set a trial period and severance fund (..) to promote work: they did not generate genuine employment. The problem is not the change in labor relations, which must be changed, but between those who have the productive forces and the worker," Sola expressed.
For the union representative, the Government's reform "has major constitutional problems." "Without the approval of the working world, they advanced with a project," Jerónimo summarized.
"It's not a reform, it's a labor flexibility," Sola said before the Labor and Social Security and Budget and Finance commissions.
Meanwhile, Jorge Argüello, from Truckers, stated that the law is "regressive." "More work is not generated by stripping more rights," the leader argued.
"Some business sectors do not want this law. Taking all rights away from workers seems crazy to me, and we are taking the wrong path." He also lashed out against the Council of May.
"We demand the national government guarantee the physical integrity and freedom of those who participate in the mobilization," the labor center published.
"They have once again shown that they lied to us. It doesn't suit us."
