The hearing held this Monday in Congress, prior to the treatment and mobilizations against the “labor reform” of the Milei government, showed a broad rejection of this new attack on workers’ rights, with profound arguments and international experiences. For more than two hours, the words of “workers’” lawyers, of important prestige in their countries (and detested by the business chambers), were heard.

From Brazil, Germany, France, the Spanish State, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Türkiye, Paraguay and Argentina. Coordinated by Myriam Bregman and Matías Cremonte, president of the Association of Labor Lawyers of Latin America. Bregman, a representative and lawyer, highlighted the idea: “for us it is very important, along with the mobilization, to listen to specialists and members of associations of labor lawyers from different countries in Latin America, as well as from Germany, France, the Spanish State and Brazil. Because the reform that they want to vote for here has already been applied in other countries in the world and this project has similarities with the one promoted at the time by governments such as that of the coup leader Temer in Brazil, Rajoy in the Spanish State or, in some aspects, Hollande in France”.

Among the labor lawyers participated Matías Cremonte, president of the Latin American Association of Labor Lawyers (ALAL); Roberto Pompa, president of the Latin American Association of Labor Judges; María Soledad Calle, vice president of IndustriALL, among many others that we list below and you will be able to see their interventions.
