The union of state-owned ATE called for a general strike after Javier Milei's announcement about the cancellation of 70 thousand contracts. Rodolfo Aguiar, general secretary of the union, stated this in a post on social networks.
"Argentina is going through a stage of transition. We workers are forced to rethink some of the slogans that we embraced in the '90s in the face of a similar political process," he said. The strongest state union had stopped a strike that was planned to last 48 hours.
