The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) in Argentina has announced plans for a general strike scheduled for the day when the labor reform project will be discussed in the Chamber of Deputies, likely on either Thursday or the 25th. This move comes amidst internal pressures within the union, especially as they face criticism for negotiating with the government regarding their funds.

This strike will be the CGT's fourth protest against the administration of President Javier Milei, indicating a growing dissent among labor unions against his policies. Sources within the union suggest that this strike will receive strong support from transportation unions, highlighting the potential for significant disruption. The decision about the strike is pending confirmation after a virtual meeting of the CGT's governing council.

Cristian Jerónimo, a representative of the CGT, stated that conditions for a national strike are aligning, as collective consensus builds within various unions. This labor unrest reflects broader discontent with the current government and could impact the political landscape as debates around labor reform intensify in Argentina.
