Pablo Moyano Returns to Political Arena to Denounce Government's Labor Reform

Argentine union leader Pablo Moyano is set to re-enter the political spotlight, spearheading a protest against President Javier Milei's labor reform. Moyano, the deputy secretary of the Truckers' Union, will hold a press conference to denounce what he calls the "critical situation of workers" following the reform's regulatory implementation.

Joining Moyano will be Julio Sosa, president of the Global Railway Section of the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) and a member of the leadership of La Fraternidad. While not a judicial complaint, the leaders aim to launch a political resistance against the labor reform. They express discontent with the perceived conciliatory stance of the CGT union confederation, despite four general strikes since Milei took office.

The press conference, scheduled for 9:30 AM, will also address "international complaints filed against the government of Javier Milei." This event signifies Moyano's return to active political campaigning after a period of reduced public engagement. He had previously resigned from the CGT in November 2024 and has since maintained a strong opposition to the labor reform, aligning himself with more combative union groups.

Moyano's stance contrasts with some unions, like SMATA, which have recently accepted elements of the labor reform, such as the "hours bank" system. Meanwhile, the CGT and the two CTA unions have already filed complaints against the Argentine government at the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Geneva over alleged "serious breaches of international labor standards."
