The year ends but the problems continue. The crisis of Milei’s economic policy hits the industry, and the employers unload the “costs” onto the workers’ backs. There are also attacks in services, in Health and the State in general.
Between “party” and “party”, although here those who celebrate all year round are the owners of the country, there are people who are left without bread but also people struggling.
This Monday the workers of line 148 (the famous “Halcón”) took to the streets again. The mobilization went through the UTA Sectional South, the Ministry of Transportation and was planted at the Pueyrredón Bridge. The Moqsa company owes them part of the salaries, bonuses, contributions to social works and even the food quota. They are fighting it together with their families.
Students from the En Clave Roja student movement are supporting and made a video that went viral in the Varela community and the entire southern area, helping to spread the conflict.
This Monday there is also another “surprising” conflict. “In the Farmacias del Dr. Ahorro chain, the company began to send dismissal telegrams en masse and is closing branches. Subsequently, they have been sent the dismissal telegram and they have not yet received anything, not only the compensation, but also the final month’s settlement. In the absence of support from the Adef union, we demand that the Secretary of Labor intervene to stop the layoffs.” This is what more than 150 pharmaceutical workers from the multinational chain say.
This Monday they marched to the Labor Secretariat on Avenida Alem.

Hundreds of tire workers from the FATE company will march there, but on Tuesday the 30th. In recent weeks, a rebellion against the year-long salary freeze has been brewing from below. Stoppages and highway cuts.
Starting today afternoon, a 25-hour strike begins that ends at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday and continues with a rally at Avenida Alem 600, at 2:00 p.m. SUTNA denounces the failure of the virtual joint hearing held on December 26 and accuses the companies Fate, Pirelli and Bridgestone of “deliberate delays, bad negotiating faith and failure to present accounting balances.”
That day there will also be protests in downtown Buenos Aires, led by the Road Workers Union and the Internal Board of Ate Indec. They denounce that “since the assumption of Javier Milei the accumulated salary loss exceeds 29%” and they demand an emergency increase of 50% and transfer to the plant of those hired.
In Córdoba there is also anger. The state unions march in rejection of the pension reform approved by the Legislature. He left at 11 at the corner of Colón and General Paz avenues to the headquarters of the Legislature. Governor Llaryola has not only been adjusting salaries but also taking more money from them to support the pension system while favoring soybean farmers and industrialists.
There is more. Fademi chemists receive the “holidays” in a camp that has been going on for more than 500 days, against the arrogance of a company that does not respect workers’ health, nor the right to strike, nor judicial rulings. In Ascensores Cóndor the attempted closure became an occupation and the proposal to continue operating as a workers’ cooperative. At Acerías Beriso they start a new week of staying in the plant and demanding solutions from the government, against the employers’ emptying. In Azúcar Ledesma the camp against the Blaquier layoffs continues. Beyond the unions and different, they are united by a decision: “no one gives up here.”
In the midst of so much attack, so much passivity of the CGT and so much heat, they are a breath of fresh air. They are the “battle camps” of the fight against labor reform and Milei’s war plan. Therefore, we must support them with everything. Surrounding them with solidarity, helping the coordination between those who are in it, supporting the fighting funds and the demand for the unions to economically support their “represented”, facing the demoralizing discourse of Peronism and the CGT.
In this coming year, long live the “old” and the new struggles. Let’s toast to that resistance, but above all let’s help organize it and infect millions.
