CGT Elects Jerónimo, Sola and Argüello to Lead New Triumvirate

The new leadership now confronts Javier Milei’s labor overhaul, with unions warning they will escalate if talks stall.

Overview

  • Delegates at the Obras Sanitarias congress voted to preserve a three-person leadership for 2025–2029 and approved the slate after hours of negotiations.
  • Gastronómicos leader Luis Barrionuevo’s push for a single secretary general was rejected, and he left with UTA’s Roberto Fernández while threatening a split.
  • UPCN’s Andrés Rodríguez was chosen as deputy secretary and UOM’s Abel Furlán will lead the Gremial Secretariat on the new board.
  • A late bid to seat judicial leader Maia Volcovinsky to ensure a woman in the top tier was set aside, keeping Camioneros’ Octavio Argüello in the third seat.
  • Facing the government’s labor reform, negotiators such as UOCRA’s Gerardo Martínez signaled openness to talks and warned of forceful actions if dialogue fails.
