The Argentine government is currently engaged in a heated debate over Javier Milei's labor reform project in the House of Representatives, following its approval in the Senate. The government's aim is to pass the legislation through the lower house, amidst rising tensions from labor unions, particularly the Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT), which has declared a 24-hour general strike to coincide with the discussions. This strike marks the fourth labor action against Milei's administration, demonstrating significant opposition from the labor sector.

The CGT has faced criticism for its behind-the-scenes negotiations with the government, and this latest strike indicates rising frustrations within the labor movement. The unions have stated that the general strike will be effectively supported by transportation guilds, which are crucial for transportation within the country. The timing of this labor action poses challenges for the government as it attempts to garner support for Milei's proposed reforms, which are seen by some as controversial and potentially detrimental to workers' rights.

As the government pushes forward with its agenda, the situation reflects broader societal tensions in Argentina regarding economic policy and labor rights. The discussions in the House of Representatives are set to start at 2 PM, and the outcome could have significant implications for Milei's presidency and the future of labor relations in the country. With unions mobilizing against the reform, the government's ability to maintain social peace and support for the reforms will be tested in the coming hours.
