In its second extraordinary session, the Chamber of Deputies of the Province of Buenos Aires (PBA) finished assigning its authorities, which were distributed between the ruling party and the dialogue opposition. He addressed pending issues from previous sessions and focused on the labor reform presented by the government of Javier Milei, which will try to reach the National Senate on December 26.
The first to speak were the libertarians Nahuel Sotelo and Francisco Adorni who shamelessly defended the so-called “labor modernization law” stating that the objective of the National Executive is to organize the country and ensure that businessmen earn more and more (with ours).
For his part, the newly elected deputy for the third electoral section in the PTS FITU interbloc, Christian Castillo, proposed that the so-called labor reform should be called the “worker slavery law,” and denounced that this business profit that the government spokesmen celebrate is a direct robbery from the pockets of the workers. Thus, the deputy explained that in this project there is, for example, a defunding of social security. It addresses basic measures for the safety of workers in their jobs, which with this law are emptied so that large employers can save up to 2.5 billion dollars. “There is an attempt to prevent any worker from choosing vacations with their children; there is an attempt to reduce the cost of compensation.”
In turn, Castillo referred to job insecurity and the fraud of the monotax, stating that it is not an invention of this government but rather it is maintained in the National State, in the Provincial and Municipal governments. Thus, he promised to present all the projects that are necessary to end precariousness in the Provincial State.
The deputy declared “it is a black week in the National Congress” because not only is the treatment of the reform being prepared, which the executive seeks to obtain the commission’s opinion on Friday 12/19, but on Wednesday 12/17 in the budget vote for 2026 they want to advance in the repeal of the emergency law on disability, the emergency law on pediatrics and the emergency law on university financing, all of them approved 4 times with more than two-thirds of the votes. votes in the precinct.
Her interblock partner for the Unidad Left Front and member of the body of delegates of the Sarmiento railway, Mónica Schlotthauer (IS FITU) denounced the argumentative fallacies of the propaganda deployed to pass this law; those that say that today there are agreements that have remained unchanged since 1975. The representative denied these arguments saying that there is no law from 1975 that is still in force and denounced that since the genocidal dictatorship all have been modified under the orders of the monetary fund. Far from the promises of generating jobs, they have always meant worse conditions for workers, aggravating precariousness government after government.
As Deputy Castillo stated, “From the left we are going to mobilize with an independent pole and we are demanding that there be an active strike on the day the vote is taken” “Let this black week not be consumed! To the streets with the mobilization and the fight to break this, to impose the plan of struggle and the active strike to defend the rights and win them for those who do not yet have them! Reduction of the Working Day to 6 hours without affecting the salary, to distribute the hours of work and below all the precarious laws!”
