Transport Strike: Will there be subways tomorrow, Wednesday February 11?
A transportation strike in Argentina is expected to disrupt subway services tomorrow as unions protest against proposed labor reform in the Senate.
On February 11, a significant transportation strike has been announced in Argentina, organized by the Confederación General de Trabajo (CGT) to protest labor reform discussions in the Senate. The Confederación Argentina de Trabajadores del Transporte (CATT), which represents various transport unions, will cease operations throughout the day, creating uncertainty for commuters reliant on public transport.
Metrodelegados, the subway workers' union, confirmed that subway services will be impacted starting from 9 PM and will continue until the end of the day, which typically concludes around 2 AM for most subway lines. Commuters and the general public are advised to prepare for disruptions and seek alternative arrangements for travel, especially during peak hours.
The broader implications of this strike reflect ongoing tensions regarding labor reforms in Argentina, highlighting the unions' concerns over potential impacts on workers' rights. As the government pushes for reforms, the CGT and CATT are rallying public support to demonstrate the potential resistance from workers, particularly within the transport sector, which is crucial for urban mobility in Buenos Aires and beyond.
