A union leader stated: "I believe it will have great adherence and will demonstrate discontent, not only with this bill, but with the political and economic course that this government has today in Argentina, which does not include the majority of Argentines". The legislative clock is ticking, and the tension between the unions and the libertarian government promises to reach its peak in the coming hours, when the CGT formally announces its action plan. Faced with the advance of the labor reform promoted by the government of Javier Milei, the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) is gearing up and warned in recent hours that social unrest has escalated to the point of guaranteeing the success of an imminent national strike on the same day the project is debated in the Chamber of Deputies. According to what Argentine News Agency learned, the co-secretary and union leader Christian Jerónimo was in charge of taking the pulse inside the central union by ensuring that "the conditions are in place to go on a general strike" against the official initiative, which he described as "totally regressive" and "negative for workers and the people in general". Jerónimo explained that the possibility of holding a national strike on the day of the legislative debate is a fact that will materialize if the project reaches the chamber, given that the discontent among the rank and file has grown exponentially in recent weeks. "I believe that my colleagues have really started to understand the real impact this law will have on their lives," the union leader remarked in radio statements, confirming that different unions and productive sectors have already expressed their support for the measure of force. Key Monday for the CGT. Jerónimo's statements come on the eve of a definitive summit. The leadership of the CGT will hold a key meeting this Monday to finalize the analysis of the political scenario and measure the level of real adherence the strike could achieve nationwide. For the central union, the mobilization will not only seek to stop the historic changes proposed in the labor law, but also to send a direct message to the Casa Rosada.
