As detailed in another articlethe CGT met its Board of Directors behind closed doors to analyze the steps to be taken before the presentation in Congress of the draft labor reform law by the national government.
Finally at noon this Thursday it was announced that the union center called for mobilization on Thursday the 18th. Although, needless to say, without a national strike that guarantees that the measure of force is as forceful as possible, paralyzing the country and with hundreds of thousands marching.
The announcement of the CGT It occurred after a group of union organizations, internal commissions and bodies of combative delegates, student centers and the parties that make up the Left Front will begin to call for a massive march to Congress on Thursday the 18th against slave labor reform.
The call for the independent arch was planned for Thursday at 6 p.m., initially concentrating on Avenida de Mayo and 9 de Julio in the City of Buenos Aires. Now The challenge opens up to also participate from 2:00 p.m. as an independent pole in the CGT march, demanding a national strike and a plan of struggle until Milei’s plans are defeated.
Independent participation in the measure called by the CGT is essential to demand the continuity of a plan of struggle, knowing that the traitor leadership of the CGT will never be willing to carry the plan of struggle to the end, but will always be willing to sit down again to negotiate with the national government and businessmen to hand over our rights. It is key to organize and strengthen yourself from the bases independently in the face of the harsh attacks that are coming.
– Let’s defeat the repressive penal reform and the package of laws against working people. The glacier law is not touched.
– We demand an active national strike of the CGT and the CTA and a fighting plan until the entire plan of Milei, Trump and the IMF is defeated.
-Enough of the persecution of the Garrahan workers, the independent piquetero movement and all the fighters.
– Defense of the right to strike, collective labor agreements, union democracy, increased salaries and retirements.
The 18th of the streets: down with the reform and anti-popular laws
The call has already begun to grow: unions, internal commissions and bodies of combative delegates; university, tertiary and secondary student centers; human rights organizations and social movements; the political parties of the Unity Left Front. That day we have to be thousands and thousands in the streets. A tough fight is coming against labor slavery and Milei’s plan, the IMF and big business.
Milei and the big employers want slave workers. That is the core of the labor reform that Congress has just mandated. They talk about “labor modernization”, but they want to make it easier and cheaper to fire; increase the working day and make working conditions even more flexible; eliminate or severely limit the right to strike or the possibility of holding assemblies. That among many other things.
Until now, the CGT responded only with statements to these attacks. The only “protest” from its leadership was not going to the last meeting of the Mayo Council. And now they have called for a mobilization for Thursday the 18th, although without a national strike so that the full force of the working class can be expressed and hundreds of thousands can march. It is planned to demand a national strike and a plan of struggle until Milei’s plans are defeated.
Assemblies must be called in all workplaces so that workers can first discuss what labor reform means. And, secondly, that they decide democratically how to confront it and how to take the fight to the end.
Among those already calling for mobilization are the sectors of combative unionism that met this week in Ademys, who have been leading the resistance struggles, as well as retirees, social organizations and the entire left.
We have to be thousands and thousands. That’s why you have to organize from now on. From all places of work and study; from the women’s struggle movement; from social movements; from all the unions that oppose these disastrous laws. We all have to go out to the streets. It’s them or us. You can’t miss it.
