The General Confederation of Labor (CGT), Argentina’s largest trade union organization, will file two legal complaints against the labor reform approved last week by Congress. The announcement was on Monday and specified that it will reach the Labor Court and the Administrative Court. “It is false that the enactment of this Labor Reform Law seeks to increase employment and bring informal workers into the formal sector,” said a statement by the CGT. “We know very well that this process cannot be improved by reducing workers’ rights or rolling back the legal framework to times closer to servitude or slavery,” they added. “(President) Milei’s economic program is causing a very deep recession in job-creating sectors such as the manufacturing industry,” he added, noting that the labor reform won’t create jobs.
