Transport Strike: What Happens to the Subway and Trains This Wednesday, February 11

A massive mobilization and transport strike is planned in Argentina on February 11 in response to the government's labor reform project.

On February 11, the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) in Argentina has called for a massive mobilization towards the National Congress, set to begin at 2:30 PM. This demonstration is aimed at opposing the labor reform project proposed by the government. In a previous decision, the leadership of the labor union decided to organize this march while allowing unions to make their own decisions regarding operational activities. Consequently, the Argentine Confederation of Transport Workers (CATT) has announced a workers' strike for the same day.

As a result of this strike, many commuters are left wondering about the state of public transportation, particularly regarding the operation of the subway and train services on February 11. The CATT has indicated that they will halt operations starting at 1:00 PM, with arrangements to be made appropriately for each sector involved, which includes both air and land transportation systems. This significant disruption in public transport is likely to affect thousands of passengers who rely on these services for their daily commutes.

This situation underscores the ongoing tensions between labor unions and the government regarding work conditions and reforms. The strike not only signifies the unions' discontent with the proposed labor reforms but also highlights the broader implications for workers' rights in Argentina. The planned mobilization and subsequent strike reflect a unified front of workers advocating for their rights and opposing government policies they view as detrimental to labor standards.
