The government of Javier Milei is negotiating with allies to expedite the labor reform in Congress, while the CGT is preparing to announce a general strike against it.
Javier Milei's government is actively seeking to push through labor reform legislation in the Argentine Congress, negotiating with various political allies to hasten the process. This reform is controversial and has triggered significant opposition, notably from the CGT (General Labor Confederation), which is poised to react strongly against the proposed changes. Over the weekend, Luis Caputo, the Minister of Economy, expressed surprise at the lack of support from business groups for the reform, despite its promise to significantly reduce employer costs for new jobs.
