Labor Reform Submission Slips as Government Targets Thursday Send and Senate Showdown

The bill still needs President Javier Milei’s signature after internal wrangling over union provisions.

Overview

  • Officials say the reform will be formally sent to the Senate on Thursday, after a delay tied to Milei’s return and last‑minute edits.
  • The ruling bloc is moving to control key committees for a fast track, with Patricia Bullrich set to lead Labor, and late‑December floor votes viewed as the earliest window.
  • The CGT met with Peronist senators to unify a resistance strategy, signaling they will seek to block or rewrite the proposal through Senate procedure.
  • State workers’ union ATE staged a national strike and march to Congress, and the government said it will dock pay for employees who joined; provincial teacher and health unions announced additional stoppages.
  • Internal divides over how hard to hit union financing slowed the draft, and a top spokesman suggested changes to mandatory dues could be shifted to a separate bill.
