New CGT Leaders Vow Multi-Front Fight Against Milei’s Labor Reform

Leaders prepare multi-front responses to the labor bill, courting the transport union after its walkout.

Overview

  • The CGT ratified a new triumvirate—Jorge Sola, Cristian Jerónimo and Octavio Argüello—to lead the 2025–2029 term.
  • Co-secretary Octavio Argüello said the confederation will defend workers’ rights on judicial, legislative and street fronts.
  • CGT leaders describe the government’s proposal as labor flexibilization that would extend workdays and eliminate overtime.
  • The leadership plans talks with UTA chief Roberto Fernández after the union’s walkout from the council meeting, noting transport’s importance after UTA skipped the last general strike under a conciliation order.
  • Jerónimo warned they will reject any regressive cut to rights, while Argüello criticized the Milei administration and alleged external pressure for flexibilization.
