ATE Convenes Plenary to Weigh National Strike Over Milei’s Labor Reform

Union leaders call for protests before December 10 over a leaked, rights‑reducing overhaul.

Overview

  • The state workers’ union gathered delegates in Buenos Aires to decide new actions, including a possible nationwide strike and a demand to reopen sector wage talks.
  • ATE chief Rodolfo Aguiar urged immediate street protests, calling it “suicidal” to wait for Congress and labeling the plan a regressive move that strips rights.
  • Aguiar argued it will be hard to defend workers in the next Congress given governors’ pragmatism, signaling demonstrations as the primary route of resistance.
  • Press reports—without an official text—describe proposals such as 12‑hour shifts, severance paid in installments, company‑level bargaining, and pay tied to productivity.
  • A parallel CGT camp under the “Agenda Siglo XXI” banner is opting for internal debate and dialogue, highlighting divisions as unions like UOCRA and Unión Ferroviaria shape program proposals.
