When is the general strike of the CGT for labor reform

The CGT has announced a 24-hour general strike without mobilization pending the date when the Chamber of Deputies will debate a labor modernization project.

The ConfederaciΓ³n General del Trabajo (CGT) in Argentina has announced a 24-hour general strike without mobilization in response to the government's labor reform proposal. The date of the strike is contingent upon when the Chamber of Deputies sets a date to discuss the bill that has already passed the Senate. This planned strike is a significant worker action indicating the labor union's strong opposition to the proposed reforms.

The strike is expected to coincide with the day the Chamber of Deputies addresses the labor modernization project, demonstrating the urgency and seriousness of the CGT's response. Although the exact dates have not yet been confirmed, they are speculated to be on February 19 or February 25. The CGT anticipates that the majority of labor unions will support the strike, highlighting a unified front among workers against the reform.

The labor reform has generated controversy, and the CGT's strike underscores the tensions between labor organizations and the government regarding changes to labor laws. If the strike proceeds, it could lead to widespread disruptions across various sectors, emphasizing the significance of labor rights and the ongoing struggles faced by workers in Argentina.
