Milei moves into a vacant space

Milei is advancing on a crucial issue regarding labor reform in Argentina, specifically addressing the reduction of salary during sick leave.

The article discusses the implications of President Milei's recent labor reforms in Argentina, specifically focusing on the significant concession made to the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) regarding union dues. This concession appears to have diverted the CGT’s attention from a potentially contentious issue that will likely come up in the Argentine Congress: the reduction of salaries paid during sick leave. Currently, employers are required to pay 100% of salaries for sick leave ranging from three months to a year depending on the worker's tenure and family responsibilities. Under the new proposal being considered, this payment could be reduced to 50%, or as generously as 75%, which has raised alarms due to its potential ramifications for workers' rights.
