CGT March: Which Unions are Joining the Mobilization on Wednesday, February 11

The CGT labor union has called for a march across Argentina on February 11 to protest against labor reform legislation set for discussion in the Senate on the same day.

The Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT), Argentina's largest labor union, is organizing a march on February 11th in front of Congress and other locations across the country to express opposition to a proposed labor reform bill. This legislation, backed by the government, is scheduled to be debated in the Senate the same day, raising substantial concern among union members and allied workers.

In light of the impending march, the CGT has urged members of the public to be alert for potential traffic disruptions, given that major roads leading to the Congress and other protest sites will likely be congested. Several unions are expected to participate by halting operations, which may further complicate the accessibility of public services during the protest, highlighting the labor sector's collective stance against the reform.

The unions that have publicly confirmed their participation include those from key sectors affected by the proposed reforms, signaling a unified front against the government’s policy changes. This mobilization not only underscores the influence of labor unions in Argentina but also raises questions about the implications of the reforms on worker rights and economic stability, thus, reflecting the ongoing tension in labor relations within the country.
