This Thursday, after a massive day of protest in the Congress that did not participate, the CGT Board of Directors announced the call for a 24 -hour strike for April 10; This year. It is worth the calendar clarification for the times that Peronist trade unionism manages.
On Wednesday 9 there will also be a concentration in the Buenos Aires center that will coincide with the usual march of the retirees and also the unions defined mobilized on March 24.
335 days have elapsed the last force of the Obrera Central. On May 9, 2024 we lived an impressive labor pronouncement that paralyzed the country, although without mobilizations or continuity. The day that the Bases Law was discussed, the CGT decided not to stop or mobilize, after agreeing points of the labor reform.
In these 11 months, state workers lost about 5 million pesos in wages, retirees 2.2 million and something similar the “private”. Not to mention the informal ones. The Government also advanced with the delivery of the country, the criminalization of protest and cuts of democratic rights. In those 11 months the CGT honored a pact with the government so as not to put sticks on the wheel to its adjustment plan.
It must be recognized that his press office worked as never before, with the publication of 65 communications, the realization of 14 press conferences and three meetings with the Milei government.
That is why the anger was expressing by another channels, from the conflicts by guild that toured 2024 to the important mobilizations of the 1F, the 8M and the protests of the retirees who became an emblem of the resistance. “Where is / that is not seen / that famous CGT” is one of the hits of the last year.
The noise of sectoral protests, the sounds of repression but also of resistance, the pans, ended up being too strong for the imperturbable ears of the union hierarchs. But it is not a awakening to go to the fight. The CGT call has the tufillo of these attempts to channel a discomfort that can no longer be contained in another way. Of appearing to re -hide and quote for the electoral schedule.

It is important to be clear about that fact. But also the opportunity to take advantage of the call to unleash deliberation in unions and workplaces. You have to go out to the streets, you can’t expect the 10th. On March 24, the following Wednesday and also on April 9, which has to be the previous one to prepare an active and forceful strike. That means organizing it from below, proposing to mobilize and measures that guarantee that it is fulfilled. There is no place for the meat.
From the PTS on the left front and our groups we will fight to deepen the resistance agenda and that is the beginning of a fight plan in the perspective of the active general strike until defeating Milei.
