The far-right government of Javier Milei formally presented its Labor Reform project to the National Senate after weeks of leaking drafts. The 71-page document seeks to destroy the historical achievements of the Argentine working class. Alongside the former spokesperson who now serves as Chief of Cabinet, Manuel Adorni, Milei signed the text of the Labor Reform that was sent to the Senate this Thursday. It is a 'maximum' project consisting of 71 pages, 26 headings, and 191 articles that attack individual and collective labor rights. Several union organizations have already announced their frontal rejection, but it is still unknown what decision the new leadership of Argentina's main labor confederation, the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), will take. The government officially sent what it calls 'labor modernization' and designated three official spokespersons to defend and explain the initiative. The chosen ones are the Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger; his Secretary of State Transformation and Public Function, Maximiliano Fariña, and the Secretary of Labor, Employment and Social Security, Julio Cordero, a man from the Techint group. The government's idea is for the labor reform to enter through the Chamber of Senators to begin the debate and thus try to secure half-sanction during the month of December, within the framework of the extraordinary sessions that began on the 10th and will conclude on the 30th of this month. In the Pink House, they aim to complete the debate in early 2026, specifically at the end of January and beginning of February, a date when the extension could be extended to try to sanction the largest number of projects included in the agenda.
