Overview
- The CGT, both CTAs and the UTEP set a joint calendar and tactics in a commission meeting at Azopardo 802 that builds a coordinated campaign across unions and social groups.
- The first action will join weekly retirees’ protests, with unions scheduled to march alongside pensioners on 22 July as the opening measure of the plan.
- Follow-up mobilizations include the San Cayetano procession on 7 August, a march to the Ministry of Economy in mid‑August, and moves tied to the Council of the Minimum Wage and the Church’s Semana Social in September.
- Union leaders say they will back local and sectoral conflicts with assemblies and visible presence rather than launch an immediate general strike, though they kept a national strike as a contingency if pressure needs to escalate.
- The campaign targets President Javier Milei’s economic program, focusing on cuts and policies that unions blame for reduced pension purchasing power, higher household indebtedness and job losses, and it seeks to broaden support by linking with social movements and Church events.
