Manuel Adorni, the Chief of Cabinet in Argentina, publicly criticized the workers at the Garrahan Hospital for holding a union assembly during peak hospital hours. He described the event and its participants as 'stale unionists' in a message posted on his social media account. Adorni shared a video showing the assembly taking place within the pediatric hospital, emphasizing his disapproval of the timing and location of the protest.

The assembly comes at a time of rising tensions between the government and the hospital's workers, as the government has called for the removal of ten union leaders from their positions, aiming to facilitate their dismissal. This situation reflects the ongoing conflict between labor unions and government policies in Argentina, particularly regarding labor rights and worker representation.

Adorni's comments and the government's actions could escalate the dispute, potentially leading to further strikes or protests as hospital workers react to what they perceive as unfair treatment. The situation also highlights the challenges faced by labor organizations in advocating for workers' rights amid governmental pressure, particularly in a sector as sensitive as healthcare.
