The organized labor movement of Argentina carries out a 24-hour national strike this Thursday against the adjustment of the Government of Javier Milei. The main unions paralyze activity throughout the country with their eyes focused on the Senate for the treatment of the Bases law, an initiative of the ruling party that advances labor rights.
The co-secretary general of the union confederation, Pablo Moyano, redoubled the pressure on the senators to reject the Bases Law when it is debated in the Upper House: “Four votes are missing for it to fall.”

The assistant secretary of Truckers stated: “There are four votes missing that surely the senators of Unión por la Patria are talking about so that this bill falls,” in relation to the initiative promoted by the Government, which has half a sanction from Deputies. He warned: “There is dialogue with all sectors so that they understand the workers’ claim.”
This is the second forceful measure of this nature against the libertarian administration, and was called by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), the most important and representative union center in Argentina.
Moyano confirmed that next Thursday there will be “a total stoppage of activities” to which “all modes of transportation are joining” and that the force measure will be “a way of telling the senators that it cannot be carried out and approved.” “a law that goes against workers.”

The unions grouped in the Central Workers of Argentina (CTA), which is divided into two factions, the Autonomous and the CTA of Workers, have also joined the strike. These two centers bring together more than 30 unions, but they do not have legal representation.
