As is known, President Milei and his cabinet met with 20 governors. One of the objectives is to reach a consensus on the labor and fiscal reform projects and the 2026 Budget before sending it to Congress on December 15.
Milei presented to them the need for the Government to enact 4 fundamental laws for the libertarian plan: “Fiscal and Tax Reform, Labor Reform and Modernization, Reform of the Penal Code and the 2026 Budget.”
The government’s labor reform is based on two pillars today: the project presented by Romina Diez and a draft that is discussed day by day in the “May Council.” La Izquierda Diario analyzed it these days, showing that it is even more pro-slavery than Milei’s previous measures. Bank of hours where they organize your working day with absolute freedom according to the business owners, the legal 8-hour day receives a new blow, there are more attributes for managers to make you give up rights or modify your conditions, it even brings a new attack on the right to strike, compensation and vacations.
At the meeting, the president said that “his goal is to modernize an anachronistic labor system.” He also assured that there is “absolute consensus” to advance these reforms.
The fact that must be highlighted is that several PJ governors participated in the meeting, many who arrived as part of the Frente de Todos, Unión por la Patria or in alliances with the national PJ. We are talking about Gerardo Zamora (Santiago del Estero), Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán), Gustavo Sáenz (Salta) and others like Llaryola, Passalacqua and Sergio Ziliotto.
No one took care to point out any difference with the affirmation of the “counter-reformist consensus.” Quite the opposite. They celebrated the “new consensus.”
It is not that one could expect “popular resistance” from such characters. But it is a warning: Milei’s victory increased the degree of collaboration among different sectors of the PJ. The CGT is already in the May Council and is difficult to come out to applaud the official announcements, but in the meantime it lets the negotiation between the LLA and “those who have the votes” run.
Everything confirms that there is no chance of resisting the reform within Congress. At most it will be a platform for the left and those who are seriously opposed, to push for popular mobilization.
Some want to place “hopes” in those who were not there, although the truth is that they were not invited. The governors Axel Kicillof (Buenos Aires), Gustavo Melella (Tierra del Fuego), Ricardo Quintela (La Rioja) and Gildo Insfran (Formosa).
Can you trust them? No. Quintela reinforced a precarious work system in his province where many companies receive benefits and make workers precarious, as in the textile sector. In recent years he faced a self-organized teacher rebellion, over salaries and against the attack on their conditions. He illegally discounted their strike days and when they went to complain, he shouted at them: “Go to work, you lazy shits.” Insfrán is no defender of labor rights and his last gesture towards the government was worse than yesterday’s meeting: a parade with Victoria Villaruel alongside the Army. Melella is an ally of the large companies in the Fuegian electronic sector (Mirgor, NewSan, BGH) that make precarious jobs and make fortunes, and he himself has been attacking state salaries and wants to attack their statutes. Axel? Axel takes care of himself a little more, but he has just faced teacher strikes due to salaries that were deducted by the strike. He does nothing against the more flexible attacks from Siderar, Georgalos, Secco and many companies in conflict. He is also the partner of the CGT, which continues to be directed by those who agreed to the Menemist reforms.
It’s clear. Weeks of shopping and hairdressing are coming. Any suitcase? That is why you can only trust the organization from below and in the streets. As the left proposes, we must reject the slave reform, coordinate all those who want to resist until we impose a plan of struggle on the unions and union centers.
There is no other way.
In this report we explain the reform.
