Overview
- CGT leaders met with Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof to coordinate opposition to the national labor modernization plan.
- The union confederation labeled the proposal regressive and said it will fight it in the streets, in Congress and in court.
- The Senate approved a committee report on the reform but postponed a floor vote until February, creating a window for lobbying.
- Contested measures include a Labor Assistance Fund funded by a 3% base on remunerations and a cut in the mandatory obra social contribution from 6% to 5%.
- CGT publicly backed Kicillof’s role at the federal level and is seeking support from opposition governors, national deputies and Peronist mayors.
