The Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT) in Argentina has resolved to hold a general strike without mass mobilization on the day Congress discusses the proposed labor reform project. This marks the CGT's firm decision to confront the government of Javier Milei, especially after facing internal pressure regarding previous negotiations with the government. The debate in the Chamber of Deputies could take place this Thursday or on the following Wednesday, February 25.

This strike represents the fourth protest against President Milei's administration and is notable for the full support it has received from transport unions. This shift towards a more solidified approach by the unions indicates an escalating response to the government's labor policies, which the CGT deems as infringements on workers' rights. The decision is part of a broader strategy to impose change through organized action, as opposed to the previous reliance on negotiations and dialogue with government representatives.

As the labor reform bill progresses through the legislative process, the implications of the CGT's strike may be significant. It highlights the ongoing tensions between the government and labor unions in Argentina, especially in a political climate where multiple reforms are being proposed that could affect workers' rights and protections. The outcome of the discussions in Congress will undoubtedly influence future labor relations and the CGT's strategy moving forward.
