The Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT) in Argentina has announced a mobilization against a labor reform initiative put forth by President Javier Milei's administration. The decision came after a meeting of the CGT's Board of Directors, where there were differing opinions on how to express opposition—some favored a manifest while others proposed a general strike as a stronger measure. Ultimately, the CGT resolved to march on Wednesday, February 11.

Jorge Sola, the General Secretary of the CGT, articulated strong opposition to the labor reform, describing it as ideologically biased and detrimental to both individual workers' rights and the collective rights of trade unions. He emphasized that the reform would result in a significant transfer of wealth from workers to employers, highlighting concerns over the proposed alterations to the labor framework which they view as regressive. This mobilization is positioned as a critical response from organized labor to governmental policies that they believe undermine workers' interests.

The protest, which is expected to draw considerable attention, will be held on February 11, and the CGT has advised participants on the time and locations for the march. Given the tensions surrounding labor relations in Argentina, this event represents a pivotal moment for labor rights advocacy and could have wider implications for the government’s reform agenda as well as for future labor relations in the country.
