Overview
- Delegates meeting at Obras Sanitarias validated a single list that kept a collegial leadership, electing Jorge Sola (Insurance), Cristian Jerónimo (Glass) and Octavio Argüello (Truckers) to a four-year term.
- The CGT reported participation by 145 of 200 affiliated unions, with 1,830 of 2,130 delegates voting in favor of the slate.
- A bid by Luis Barrionuevo to restore a single secretary-general was rejected, and the UTA and other allies stepped away from the new structure.
- Key intermediaries such as Gerardo Martínez helped knit together the agreement, while Armando Cavalieri’s sizable delegate bloc proved decisive in the vote math.
- The leadership’s immediate test is how to engage Javier Milei’s labor reform, with factions divided between a negotiating approach and a more combative stance.
