After the half-sanction of the government’s slave labor reform, the now senator for La Libertad Avanza surprised with a phrase as ridiculous as it was outrageous. For Bullrich, from now on “Argentines who are informal can go and tell their employer: today you have facilities, you have to formalize me.”
Accustomed to walking the halls of LN+ and the friendly treatment she receives from all her staff, the former Minister of Security began to ramble about the supposed benefits that the ruling party’s project would bring. A law that goes back more than 100 years, allowing the working day to be extended at the whim of employers, stopping paying overtime, splitting vacations, reducing compensation and deducting salaries by up to 50% for illnesses contracted outside the workplace, but which the government insists on defending as “labor modernization.”
A reform that has no legitimacy and that is why we see a gigantic political and media operation trying to justify it. A day that showed the complicity of PRO senators, radicals, Peronists and also of a union leadership that practically decided to be absent from the streets, satisfied with the result of the negotiations that kept their backs to the millions of workers they should represent. But it also showed the determination of vanguard sectors together with combative unionism and the left, willing to face it in the streets putting their body and proposing a perspective towards the treatment that is coming in Deputies.
Against the cynicism of an official party that canchero and says that the workers will now be able to demand formalization from their employers, it is necessary to redouble the organization from below to prepare a measure at the level of the attack they are preparing, imposing a strike and mobilization on the day it is discussed again in Congress. We have to be double or triple, organizing a day throughout the country with a large active strike, in a true national rebellion.
