National Workers' Left Front (FIT) deputies Nicolás del Caño, Myriam Bregman, and Christian Castillo joined the plenary sessions held over the weekend by various unions to organize measures against the Labor Modernization Bill promoted by the National Government. With the presence of former lawmakers Alejandro Vilca and Vilma Ripoll, activists and leaders from different unions met both Friday and Saturday with the objective of 'an exchange to prepare a fight against the slave labor reform' and to define 'concrete measures for the current conflicts against dismissals to triumph.' According to statements by the deputies to the Argentine News Agency, one of the common points in these meetings was strong criticism of the triumvirate and the inaction of the CGT and the country's main unions in the face of the imminent advance of the labor reform proposed by President Javier Milei's administration. '(The main central labor unions) are not only not organizing a serious fight to defeat the attempt to impose a labor reform that will liquidate the rights of workers, but a sector is negotiating directly with the Government and complicit governors.' The need to demand and call for an active national strike on the days the project is debated in Congress was a general resolution that ran through all plenaries, as was organizing columns to surround Congress on those days, the deputies stated. They also pointed out that there will also be struggle days in the provinces, 'such as the cut-off to access the city that was resolved in the great plenary of Jujuy' for the day there is a session. Another resolution they determined was 'the active support for each regional struggle against dismissals and for salary increases,' particularly 'in the tough fight that the Lustramax workers are carrying out' and whom they intend to 'break with hunger.' To conclude, they raised the need to achieve 'a national convergence in the coming weeks,' to prepare for the day the Congress is in session, which is assumed to be February 10, and to support 'all and each of the struggles of workers, as well as environmental struggles and those of the dissent collective,' which are calling for a march next Saturday, February 7, in the City of Buenos Aires, parallel to the general strike they are preparing 'to defeat the Milei government and eliminate all its legal legacy.' These meetings were held at the ATE Sur venue in Lomas de Zamora; in front of the Lustramax headquarters, in the Northern Zone; at the Cultural Center 'Rebelión' in La Plata; and at the venue of the Center of Teachers of Secondary and Higher Education of Jujuy, where recovered unions, internal commissions, and bodies of delegates from all currents and groupings of the working class 'that face the bosses, the governments, and the union bureaucracy' participated.
