In recent hours, rejection of the law began to grow rapidly. "We must ensure that it is an active strike," stated Rodolfo Aguiar, general secretary of ATE. If we do not mobilize, the government feasts. We must continue to put pressure. Buenos Aires, February 17 (NA) – The CGT will hold a press conference at 11 AM this Wednesday from its headquarters on Azopardo Street to explain the call for a general strike without a march for next Thursday, when the Chamber of Deputies will debate the labor reform bill. The organization's executive board will clarify the terms of that resolution after criticism from both the left and more combative unions for deciding not to accompany the strike – the fourth during the Javier Milei era – with a massive march to Congress. The co-chairs of the central labor federation, Octavio Argüello (Truckers), Jorge Sola (Insurance), and Cristian Jerónimo (Glassworkers), decided on this measure last Monday after an emergency meeting convened via Zoom. However, according to what the Argentine News Agency was able to learn, there will be "freedom of action" for sector unions that decide to mobilize. Hot debate: FIT "runs from the left" of the CGT on Milei's labor reform Indeed, the United Front of Trade Unions (FreSU), which includes a group of CGT unions and the two CTA federations, will march to the Congress this Thursday starting at 12 PM, rejecting the norm promoted by the Executive Branch. "The strike will be felt throughout the country, but we cannot stay at home."
