20 days left so that the Senate can try to approve the labor reform and send it to the Deputies. Patricia Bullrich prepares the coup. Diego Santilliminister of the interior, tours the provinces to secure the votes of the governors. Radicals, Macristas and Peronists too. In the media he announces that he is doing well.
The CGT Not only has it not convened any plan of struggle, after the weak march in December. He doesn’t even hit to negotiate. He says he is going to tour the offices of governors and senators. But no news. Few believed Sola’s strike threat from that stage. They have reasons. The CGT’s strategy is an informal conversation with the government and the threat of judicializing the reform.
Es a strategy that can only lead to defeat.
Debates do not even appear in the Board of Directors, as in other times. Gordos, independents and Moyanistas follow the same script. From the sectors of union kirchnerism They do not challenge that pact either. The “Federal Current” led by Palazzo With 50 critical unions, he lost authority after two years of adjustment by the right.
The CATTwhich in 2025 reappeared on the streets leading the Front for Sovereignty and Workbraked their engines and swore that they are organic to the orders of the Triumvirate.
The attitude of the drivers contrasts with that of millions of ordinary workers who view the reform being voted on with rejection and concern. “There is nothing good about it”, “they are going to make us even more precarious”, “we are against it, we have to take to the streets”. This is what the workers we interviewed in the Plaza de Mayo of the CGT repeated. Not in a plenary session of the left.
A critical pole?
Abel Furlán, from the UOMtook advantage of the policy of the Triumvirate to occupy the place of the dissonant voice. Through his man on the Council he leaked that the CGT could call a strike on February 10, which the CGT spokespersons denied as “fake news.” In the last days called a plenary session of unions which finally took place this Wednesday the 21st. As the media reports, there were leaders of graphics, pilots, roads and port unions and other industries. None of the unions with weight that can paralyze sectors of the economy were present, except for the aeronautical sector (we have already reached the oil case).
What came out of that meeting? Assemblies in unions and workplaces to discuss it at the grassroots? No. A first day of protest to mark the field? Neither. The call for a strike by these unions and a demand from the CGT? Less.
The UOM leader pointed out that “we are going to continue meeting in order to define a plan of struggle. This is resolved in the street. And we are not denying a plan of struggle, a measure of force.”
There is little time left Furlán.
A special paragraph deserves the attitude of the Oil Federation. December 18 He held a national strike and marched in Plaza de Mayo and other provinces. And he has already announced that he will call a general strike again when it comes to it and demands a fight plan. But it has also been joining together with other unions, social organizations, and combative sectors. He understands that unity, strikes and combative marches are the only way to defeat the reform.
Are the UOM and ATE going to follow that path or are they taking photos with Aceiteros to hide their lukewarmness? Are these spaces of the CGT and CTA unions that claim to confront, are they going to fight or are they going to complement the strategy of the triumvirate with an action?
It’s not a chicana. It is not just another debate. Rights won with the blood of workers and the future of millions are at stake. Milei and Rocca are waging war on us. Are they going to answer them with an orderly parade?
A pole that fights and imposes a general strike
The left and the combative sectors propose another path. To defeat the reform we must respond at the height of the attack. We must start now, with combative actions, to help prepare a massive mobilization that will surround the Senate when they want to approve it. For that, a general strike is needed. Or all possible unions. There is no protocol that can stop that force.
The PTS has been carrying out a strong campaign Since December, he hasn’t taken a vacation. In this last week we participated in coordination plenaries in the North Zone and South Zone, but we are also supporting with everything the fight of Lustramaxa witness case against the reform. We want each of these moves to serve to urgently make a “self-convocation” with all the union, political, picketing, retiree, human rights, environmental, and feminist organizations where we prepare the fights to come. From a space like this, which attracts new sectors beyond the Left Front, we will be able to strengthen the campaign and especially the February actions. But also push as many unions as possible to demand a general strike and the historic day that we need.
There is no time to waste.
