The rejection of Javier Milei's management has reached 70.8% among unionized workers, reflecting increasing discontent since November according to a recent survey.
A recent survey conducted by consultant Hugo Haime has revealed that 70.8% of unionized workers in Argentina reject the government of Javier Milei, marking a significant rise in discontent among this demographic. The survey, requested by the Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT), shows a notable increase in disapproval, which has grown by 5 points from December and 12 points since November, indicating a growing trend of dissatisfaction. This is the highest level of rejection among unionized workers recorded in the last year and a half.
The survey results highlight a stark contrast between unionized workers and the general population regarding the support for Milei’s administration. While only 27.4% of unionized workers back the national administration, the total percentage of support among all respondents is quite different. This discrepancy suggests that Milei’s reforms and policies may not align with the interests and expectations of unionized labor, particularly with growing opposition to proposed labor reforms.
The implications of this survey are significant as they showcase the challenges Milei faces in implementing his agenda, particularly amid a critical labor sector that has traditionally been a powerful voice in Argentine politics. The increasing rejection could hinder governmental efforts to pass controversial reforms if a significant portion of the electorate feels neglected or opposed to the current administration's direction, potentially leading to larger labor mobilizations and union actions against proposed changes.
