Different unions have expressed their concern in a recent statement, indicating that the current vision puts labor rights achieved after decades of struggle at risk. These same unions are those that the Government seeks to confront, presenting them as a union model that goes against the economic program led by Javier Milei.

In government offices, they are striving to communicate formally and through various media, including social networks, the need to reduce inflation and decrease the Country Risk below 900 basis points. In this context, a meeting at Casa Rosada between union representatives and government officials to address various issues is highlighted.

During a presentation at the Mediterranean Foundation in Córdoba, the President mentioned that poverty has decreased by 8 points since the beginning of the year. However, he pointed out that the unionists seek to maintain their privileges, overthrow the Government, and harm the population.

In contrast, other union sectors have a different perception. For example, during an interview, Maturano expressed that the strike also focuses on safeguarding sovereignty. Additionally, Fernández participated in a meeting with the dialoguing wing of the labor union and government officials last month.

Regarding strike actions, the national transport strike that affected various services such as trains, subways, planes, taxis, trucks, and maritime transport is highlighted. Despite its impact, it did not achieve total adherence and was criticized by the Government as a political measure.

In this context, the Government's stance of negotiating with unions to avoid future strike actions is emphasized. It is expected that discussions will continue to resolve salary and sectorial conflicts. In parallel, statements have been made regarding the current economic situation, and it is hoped that the dialogue will foster agreements without the need to increase transportation costs.

In political circles, possible strategies to address union demands are being analyzed, and there is an effort to capitalize on conflict situations. Amidst this scenario, it is expected that negotiations between the different involved parties will find solutions and avoid future interruptions in transportation services.
