On February 11, 2023, the Argentine Senate will begin discussions on a labor reform bill promoted by the current government, which has sparked significant opposition from unions, particularly the General Confederation of Labor (CGT). In response, the CGT and other labor organizations including the two Central Workers' Unions (CTA) are mobilizing a march towards the Congress to express their dissent against the proposed legislation. This bill, if approved in the Senate, will move to the Chamber of Deputies for further consideration.

The CGT and the two CTAs plan to initiate their march at 2 PM, highlighting their commitment to defending workers' rights in opposition to the labor reform initiative suggested by President Javier Milei’s administration. Alongside this demonstration, these labor unions are coordinating a 24-hour strike, which represents a significant measure to escalate their protest efforts. The strike is intended to emphasize their concerns about the potential impacts of the reform on workers' protections and labor rights.

Today’s developments will be closely watched, as they not only reflect the immediate reaction of labor movements within Argentina but also serve as a barometer for the political landscape regarding labor policy under the current government. The outcome of the Senate debate and the response from the public and unions could foreshadow broader societal implications regarding employment and labor relations in the country if the reform advances successfully through the legislative process.
