The unions affiliated with UGATT guarantee a total strike of passenger transport," the organization announced through a statement. And it reiterated that it took this position "in defense of Argentine work, and in defense of our right to strike. Buenos Aires, February 16 (NA) — The General Union of Transport Workers' Associations (UGATT) announced the full adherence of the unions that make up the organization to the national strike called by the CGT, with a 24-hour strike planned for the day the labor reform is dealt with in the Chamber of Deputies. In the document, to which the Argentine News Agency had access, the union organization expressed its rejection of what it defined as the "arrogance" of the Government and stated that the measure seeks to show solidarity with retirees, pensioners and workers, both formal and informal, regardless of their union affiliation. In this way, on the day of the protest, which will presumably be Thursday, February 19, services such as buses, trains, taxis and flights, among others, will be affected in the city of Buenos Aires and the AMBA. It brings together unions such as the UTA and the Airline Pilots Association (APLA), in addition to taxi drivers and road workers. The CGT The leadership of the CGT called this Monday for a general strike without a march for when the labor reform is discussed in the Chamber of Deputies, as the Argentine News Agency was able to confirm. This was after the virtual meeting between the co-chairs of the central labor union Octavio Argüello (Truckers), Jorge Sola (Insurance) and Cristian Jerónimo (glass workers), who held it virtually at noon. "Always with the conviction of defending our rights as workers enshrined in the National Constitution". Led by Omar Maturano, from "The Fraternity", UGATT is made up of unions from the railway, maritime-port, air-commercial and passenger road transport sectors. "UGATT informs society that it fully adheres and complies with what was resolved by the CGT's board of directors, announcing a national general strike. On the day the labor reform is dealt with in deputies, there will be no transport. When peoples tire of their patience, they make the punishment thunder!"
