Union representatives from the Garrahan Hospital in Buenos Aires, the Asociación de Profesionales y Técnicos (APyT) and the Junta Interna de ATE, convened an assembly to outline their response to a renewed conflict with the national government concerning the possible layoffs of union delegates who participated in a hospital takeover. This situation follows the ongoing tension surrounding labor relations and accusations by the government related to actions taken by healthcare worker's unions.

In their plan, the unions propose a series of new measures to be implemented both inside and outside the hospital. Among these measures is an appeal in court to prevent the legal challenges against their union representatives, signaling their intention to protect their rights and positions. The unions also announced a march planned for Wednesday towards the national Congress in protest against labor reform that is perceived to threaten workers' rights in the healthcare sector.

The current atmosphere reflects broader issues concerning labor relations in Argentina. Unions are advocating fiercely against what they view as governmental overreach in threatening jobs and destabilizing their working conditions. The upcoming actions, particularly the march to Congress, underscore the unions' commitment to standing resolutely against any legislative changes that would undermine labor rights, demonstrating the tensions between healthcare workers and government policies.
