Buenos Aires, Jan 30 (NA) – The Center of River and Maritime Captains and Officers, Fishermen and Coastal Seafarers will join the marches that the combative unions of the CGT and other sectors will carry out at the beginning of February in the cities of Rosario and Córdoba against the labor reform of Javier Milei. The sector, led by Mariano Moreno, confirmed its active participation in the struggle plan initiated by some CGT unions and the two CTA by denouncing that the project was written by "the law firms of the companies" and "behind the back of the labor movement". As reported by the Argentine News Agency, the unions will mobilize in Córdoba on February 5 and in Rosario on the 10th of the same month to demand that the governors reject the project, on the eve of the consideration of that initiative in the Senate. "We find in this space a common need to go out and defend the rights of workers against a project with more than 136 points, written by the law firms of the companies and without a single consultation with the workers' sector," Moreno stated. Message to the governors The leaders of this new nucleus agreed to express a "clear demand to the governors for them to reject the initiative promoted by the Government." "The interference of the governors in the labor field will harm the workers of those same provinces in exchange for a sidewalk," Moreno said in a statement and asked the governors to "dedicate themselves to defending and demanding federal co-participation". In Corrientes, Diego Santilli added a new governor to the labor reform: "None can be against" And he clarified: "We, the unions participating in this action, have agreed that this is the time to fight, being sure that this struggle will find us all together in the future," he said. How the unions are organizing the marches in Córdoba and Rosario against Milei's labor reform "Faced with these attacks that only seek to destroy Argentine work, deepen wage pauperization, deliver sovereignty and eliminate the social rights of all workers, we know very well on which side we must be, in the street fighting for the defense of decent work and social justice that cost the Argentine working people so much blood, sweat and tears," he concluded.
