Is there a transport strike tomorrow, Thursday, February 19?

There is uncertainty regarding a potential transport strike in Argentina on February 19 due to a general strike called by the CGT against labor reform.

In Argentina, there is speculation about a possible transport strike scheduled for Thursday, February 19, connected to a general strike organized by the Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT) in response to proposed labor reforms. This would mark the fourth strike initiated by the labor union under the administration of Javier Milei. The strike is poised to affect public transport services including buses, trains, subways, and flights, although the definitive confirmation of the date for the legislative discussions has not been established yet.

The CGT has highlighted that this general strike will occur without additional mobilization and is closely tied to the government’s deliberation on labor reform, which is currently set to be debated in the Chamber of Deputies. This legislative discussion has drawn significant attention due to its implications for labor rights and workers' conditions across the nation. The CGT will hold a press conference to provide further details regarding their actions and the timing of the legislative agenda.

Until the CGT finalizes the date for the legislative discussion of the labor reform bill, the situation remains fluid, and commuters are left in doubt about their transportation options. As the planned strike approaches, the coordination between the CGT and transportation services will be crucial in determining the impact on daily transport operations, emphasizing the role of labor unions in advocating for workers' rights amid governmental reforms.
