The Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT) is set to enact a 24-hour general strike in Argentina in response to proposed labor reforms that have already received preliminary approval from the Senate. This action coincides with a crucial day when the Chamber of Deputies will discuss the contentious labor reform project, aimed at modifying existing labor laws. The strike serves as a significant pressure tactic to deter the approval of these reforms, reflecting widespread discontent among workers and their unions.

Subway services, particularly in Buenos Aires, will be severely disrupted due to this strike. The Asociación Gremial de Trabajadores del Subte y Premetro (AGTSyP), the subway workers' union, has confirmed its participation in the strike with a complete halt of subway and premetro services throughout the day. Public transportation across the country will also face interruptions as various unions participate in the general strike, showcasing solidarity against the proposed labor changes.

The implications of this strike extend beyond immediate transportation issues; it underscores the rising tensions between the government and labor unions over economic policies. As the labor reform seeks to change key aspects of labor laws, its approval could lead to significant shifts in workers' rights and protections, making the outcome of this congressional meeting vital not only for the workers but also for the political landscape in Argentina.
