The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) of Argentina renewed its leadership. The congress, held at the headquarters of the Sanitary Works, elected a new triumvirate to lead the central. The new leadership will be composed of Jorge Sola (Insurance), Cristian Jerónimo (Glass), and Octavio Argüello (Trucking). Despite promises, no woman was elected to the triumvirate, which caused great dissatisfaction among the majority of female workers present. Outgoing leader Héctor Daer spoke of the long process of leading the CGT within the triumvirate system alongside Carlos Acuña and defended his role in defending labor rights, the union model, and collective bargaining agreements against all attacks during his tenure. He emphasized the importance of unity, calling the CGT "the only social institution left standing in Argentina," and stated that "we are facing the cruelest of many offensives." Daer also declared that "we will have to dance whatever is necessary because we are not going to resign any rights." The new leadership comes to power amid a crisis of the organized labor movement, exacerbated by the offensive of the far-right government of Javier Milei, which has intensified its three anti-worker reforms—labor, pension, and tax—following its legislative victory on October 26.
