Overview
- Public-sector workers will stop work on December 9 and march to Congress in Buenos Aires, with provincial chapters including ATE Jujuy joining the action.
- The government called extraordinary congressional sessions for December 10–30 to take up the labor reform, accelerating the legislative timeline.
- A draft reviewed by LA NACION describes measures such as flexible contracts, a bank of hours, and a termination fund that could substitute severance pay, as well as changes to indemnity calculations.
- ATE frames the initiative as a direct threat to unions and jobs while demanding a halt to layoffs, reopening of national wage talks, and regularization of precarious and Covid-era contracts.
- Social organizations in the Unidad Piquetera, including Polo Obrero and UTEP, plan surprise roadblocks and communal kitchens in parallel with the strike.
