Kicillof to Join CGT March Against Labor Reform as Senate Fast-Tracks 197-Article Bill

The Buenos Aires governor denounces the package as a rollback drafted without consultation.

Overview

  • Kicillof confirmed he will attend Thursday’s CGT-led demonstration at Plaza de Mayo to oppose the government’s labor overhaul.
  • He argues the nearly 200-article proposal reduces worker protections and targets union structures under the banner of “modernization.”
  • The governor says the initiative was prepared without input from workers, SMEs or legislators and rejects any push for approval “in shock.”
  • He warns the bill includes changes to income tax that could affect provincial revenue sharing, raising concerns for governors.
  • The reform entered the Senate last week, is set for committee debate this week, and the governing bloc is pressing for a floor vote before year-end.
