The CGT Board of Directors met on Tuesday and decided to advance the mobilization of May 1, as was resolved, passing it to Wednesday, April 30. In this way, it will be held on a working day although there will be no unemployment. It will be at 2pm.
The change is due to “logistics and organization motives”, although from driving they wanted to present it as an response to the impact that will generate the devaluation in the price rise and in the purchasing power of wages. However, they returned to ratify the position that has been carrying out the central to maintain moderation and not give continuity to measures such as the unemployment of April 10, which had a huge level of adhesion even despite the (little) political will that its leaders showed.
“We can have many failures but trade unionism is alive. The CGT opened a reasonable truce And it was a demonstration that we can also sit down to dialogue when the results are not favorable, “said Juan Carlos Schmid, dredging and beaconing.
The “reasonable truce” on which Schmid speaks is nothing more than one of the main reasons that explain why the Milei government has been able to advance in its adjustment and hunger plan, despite an important political weakness that deepened from the crypto scandal onwards. Now, after the devaluation, inflation firing again by hitting wages hard. The large food companies presented lists with highlights close to 10% after the devaluation of the official dollar, reheating inflation that in March was 3.7% and 5.9% in food and drinks. Despite that, the cegetist leaders ratify the course.
But the concentration of April 30 will be the excuse for an electoral act of Peronism. As reported until now, it will be after mobilization, on azopardo. He will be headed by the CGT and the news is that mayors and governors of the PJ will attend. In fact, the leaders of the Workers’ Central will hold a meeting with governors after the march and hope to specify the photo with the presence of Axel Kicillof, which comes from imposing their position in the province of Buenos Aires and unfolding the elections of the nationals.
The CGT position is clear. On the one hand, do not give continuity to force measures as part of the strategy of Peronism, which intends to electoralize the deterioration that produces the adjustment in the quality of life of the vast majority of workers. On the other, he tries to maintain an open dialogue channel with the government to activate new negotiations in the agenda of reforms in labor and planned matters required by the Monetary Fund and that freedom advances plans to carry out.
In a context of downward, devaluation and inflation that is increasing and will continue to grow from the new remarks, it is urgent to fight against this guidance of the CGT and impose a struggle plan that enhances the force that showed the unemployment of April 10 and continuity, starting from taking emergency measures. That is what the left and combative trade unionism proposes.
