Overview

• The CGT has confirmed a May 1 march starting at 15:00 from Avenida Independencia and Perú, culminating at the Monumento Canto al Trabajo in Buenos Aires.
• Major unions, including UOCRA and UPCN, have pledged columns of approximately 12,000 members each to participate in the mobilization.
• The march will feature a giant image of the late Pope Francis as a tribute, with no stage or speeches, but a unified labor document will be read to outline demands.
• Core demands include free wage negotiations, emergency pension increases, an end to layoffs, and formal dialogue with President Milei's government.
• CGT lawyers secured legal guarantees to prevent the application of anti-picket protocols that could hinder union members' participation.
