The upcoming general strike called by the Confederation General del Trabajo (CGT) is predicted to have a greater impact than previous strikes against President Javier Milei's government. This strike is strategically timed for the day when the Chamber of Deputies is set to discuss a labor reform project that the government aims to advance. The CGT announced this strike will occur without mobilization and has witnessed significant union support, particularly from transport unions, although confirmation from bus drivers is still pending.

This will mark the fourth strike against Milei’s administration, following nearly a year without similar actions. The union's decision to initiate a strike reflects increasing tensions regarding labor reforms proposed by the government, which have raised concerns among workers and unions. As the CGT rallies support, it signals a growing readiness for collective action among various sectors, which could further influence public policy discussions and labor relations in Argentina.

The announcement of this general strike highlights the conflict between the government’s efforts to push through labor reforms and the unions’ responses aimed at protecting workers' rights. Should the strike proceed as planned, vast disruptions in services are anticipated, potentially mirroring the scale of previous significant labor actions and revealing the mounting friction in Argentine politics and labor relations under President Milei's administration.
