The CGT and the two CTA carry out their second national strike this Thursday against the policies of President Javier Milei in five months of administration. While “a resounding strike” was predicted from the labor union based on Azopardo Street, the national government warned that state employees who adhere to the measure of force will have “their salaries for the day” deducted.
It was the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, the official who summarized the government’s position regarding the strike promoted by the CGT under the slogan “Milei, stop your hand; “The country is not for sale.”
Caputo: unionism is increasingly further from reality
The one who also referred to the strike was the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, who harshly criticized the union members and expressed solidarity with the workers who cannot go to their jobs.
“My solidarity goes out to all the workers who cannot go to work today and will earn less at the end of the month, as a result of this strike,” said the official on social network X.
“I feel that unionism is increasingly distant from reality. People have already opened their eyes and are clear that they can only get out of this disaster with effort and sacrifice, not by spending taxpayers’ money or printing pesos so that they are worth less and less. Let us continue to trust, we are on the right path,” he added.
Bullrich criticized the strike and said “it is not forceful”
The Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich, denounced “mafia acts” in relation to the attacks suffered this Thursday by some bus lines that did not join the general strike of the union centers and said that the measure of force “does not have no forcefulness.”
CGT strike: the biggest impact is transportation
The massive membership of unions that represent public transport workers, such as the UTA, generates the greatest impact on different activities such as teaching classes, assisting businesses or factories and even public employment.
Policy
National strike. The National Government will discount the day for state employees who join the force measure
Early in the morning the operation of buses throughout the country was almost non-existent, except in some sectors of Amba where a business group decided to take the buses out onto the streets and for that reason received several attacks.
Neither the trains, nor the subway nor the alternative services work and it is felt. In Córdoba only taxis and taxis driven by their owners and some employees are operating.
Policy
Against Miley. The CGT intensifies actions and anticipates that Thursday’s national strike will be “forceful”
Canceled flights
Aerolíneas Argentinas reported on Wednesday afternoon that 191 flights were canceled for Thursday, which “will affect about 24 thousand passengers, and will represent a cost for the company of about 2 million dollars.”
The state airlines (which appears on the list of public companies that the Milei government wants to privatize through the “base law”) reported that tomorrow 18 thousand passengers had scheduled trips on domestic flights, 3 thousand on regional flights and another 3 thousand on international flights. . Some 8,000 passengers had already made voluntary date changes, so the remaining 15,000 will be able to modify their tickets free of charge up to 7 days after the date of the strike.”
Policy
Unemployment in Córdoba. Buses, taxis, classes, service stations and banks: who stops this May 9
Of the canceled AA flights, 162 flights are from the domestic network, 27 regional and 2 on long-haul international routes. The company anticipated the forcefulness of the strike that the different unions in the sector joined, so it asked passengers not to go to the airports because “there will be no in-person attention.”
In this regard, this Wednesday a judicial presentation was made known by a group of deputies from Together for Change against the general secretary of the Aeronautical Personnel Association for calling on legislators who vote in favor of the “base law” to protest. Cristian Ritondo, Hernán Lombardi, and María Eugenia Vidal are some of the signatories.
