Is there a strike on Friday, February 27?

Trade unions have called for a nationwide strike on February 27 coinciding with discussions of labor reform legislation in the Argentine Congress.

The United Unions Front (FreSU) has announced a total strike across Argentina on February 27, coinciding with the congressional discussions of labor reform legislation. This action follows a meeting of delegates at the Association of Senior Personnel of Energy Companies (APSEE), where union members coordinated their response to the government's proposed changes to labor laws. The strike is expected to disrupt various public and private services nationwide.

In anticipation of this national strike, FreSU—a coalition that includes transportation sectors, state employees, and social movements—demands the abandonment of the controversial labor reform project that the government is pushing. They argue that these reforms threaten workers' rights and job security. The strike aims to amplify their voices against the proposed changes, drawing attention to labor issues that affect many Argentines.

As the strike date approaches, the impact on daily life in Argentina is expected to be significant, with disruptions in public transportation and other essential services. The coalition hopes that this demonstration will sway lawmakers in Congress to reconsider the implications of the labor reform and listen to the concerns of workers who oppose it.
