Bullrich defends labor reform comparing it to phone evolution

Senator Patricia Bullrich defended the labor reform proposed by the government, using the evolution of mobile phones as an example. "Say hello to Martin. In 1973, he created the first cell phone, a year before our labor law. And our labor law? Everything has changed," she began, posting a photo of Martin Cooper. Next to it, she placed an image of a modern smartphone: "In the other photo is the iPhone 17 Pro, created by one of the world's largest companies. It weighs about 200 grams, has over 25 hours of battery life, and built-in artificial intelligence."

"The world has changed. We modernized the system, or is everything still just as bad," Bullrich summarized in a post on her official X account. Next Wednesday, the Senate will discuss the labor reform bill.
