After approval in the House of Deputies, the CGT warned that it will take the labor reform to court: 'It is totally unconstitutional'

The CGT labor union leaders in Argentina announced plans to challenge the recently approved labor reform in court, claiming it is unconstitutional.

In a significant reaction following the approval of labor reform by the Argentine House of Deputies, one of the leaders of the labor union CGT, Jorge Sola, emphasized the union's intention to take legal action against the law. Sola stated that the CGT would pursue the law's judicial invalidation in its entirety, underlining his belief that it violates constitutional principles. This strong stance indicates that the union plans to mobilize against the proponent of the reform, Javier Milei, by leveraging the judicial system to contest the legislation.

Further elaborating on their strategy, Sola indicated that the CGT intends to not only contest the entirety of the law but also focus on specific articles that they believe are particularly unconstitutional. This approach reflects a determined effort by the union to challenge and disrupt the reform process initiated by the current government. The mention of "new blows" implies that the CGT might employ various tactics, including potential strikes, signaling their commitment to combatting the reforms through both legal and tactical means.

While Sola confirmed that plans for further actions, including strikes, are underway, specifics about these actions remain undefined. His comments suggest that the union is prepared to escalate its response should the labor reform move forward. Sola's declaration implies a broader conflict between labor organizations and the government, particularly as Milei aims to implement sweeping changes to the labor market, setting the stage for a contentious legal and social battle ahead.
