On Monday, the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), Argentina's largest labor union, organized a march to the courts to formally present a challenge against the labor reform passed by Congress under President Javier Milei's government. This reform has sparked significant controversy, and the CGT argues that it is unconstitutional, claiming it retrogresses workers' rights. The union presented this legal request in both the Labor jurisdiction and the Administrative Contentious jurisdiction, seeking to halt the legislation that was approved in the Senate just days before the action.

Union leaders, including Jorge Sola from the Insurance sector, Cristian Jerónimo from the Glass sector, and Octavio Arguello from the Trucking sector, led the legal challenge which reflects the unwavering commitment of the CGT to protect workers' rights. In their statement, they emphasized the historic responsibility of the union to oppose what they describe as a regressive and harmful reform. This march and legal action represent a continuation of the CGT’s longstanding opposition to policies they believe undermine labor protections and standards in Argentina.

This move follows previous protests and a strike initiated by the CGT, showing a unified front against the government's attempts to modify labor laws. The culmination of these protests underscores a broader conflict between the union and the government, potentially setting the stage for further civil unrest as workers seek to defend their rights amid shifting political landscapes.
