Signal from the CGT: two leaders warn that they are willing to negotiate a labor reform, but with consensus

The trade unionists Héctor Daer (Health) and Andrés Rodríguez (UPCN, state)members of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) said Tuesday that he is willing to do so negotiate labor reform this does not destroy guilds.

However, they were quite upset by the government’s cap on joint ventures, the only price they see that hasn’t been released.

“We have no problem agreeing on labor reform if asked, but We do not want nor will we support the destruction of the union structure“Rodríguez told the AmCham summit.

Daer, general secretary of the CGT, instead stated: “We believe in building consensus, we know that we do it together and that it is for the whole of society. We work so that companies work and are profitable, but also so that workers can work.

In a panel moderated by Alejandro Fantino, Rodríguez complained that “what has a ceiling are salaries” and deplored the absence of the state as a mediator in the negotiations.

Subsequently the Minister of the Interior Guillermo Francoshe returned to the topic of reforms: “Who can be against it? that we can sanction a new tax system in Argentina, pension reforms or labor reforms? “I think we all agree that these changes need to be made, because the system isn’t working as it is.”

The trade unionists had recalled having discussed the labor reform with Francos in December, but then the DNU 70/2023, designed by Federico Sturzenegger, completely changed axis.
