Argentina’s CGT Warns Milei Over Labor Overhaul as Government Seeks Extraordinary Sessions

New union chiefs outline red lines after proposals leaked on longer shifts and productivity pay.

Overview

  • The administration is moving to open extraordinary congressional sessions to advance a labor-law reform.
  • Newly elected CGT co-leader Jorge Sola said the union will confront the government if it is treated as a political adversary.
  • The CGT pledged to resist any revival of measures resembling Decree 70/23, noting it fought those in the streets and in court.
  • Co-leader Cristian Jerónimo rejected reported ideas such as 12-hour workdays, a bank of hours, and pay tied solely to productivity.
  • The new triumvirate—Sola, Jerónimo, and Octavio Argüello—said they can contribute to modernization discussions without surrendering worker rights.
