Overview
- The CGT convened its Consejo Directivo on Thursday at Azopardo and scheduled a press conference for about 16:30 to present a unified plan of struggle.
- CGT leaders signaled they will prioritize escalated, sectoral measures—turning to rolling stoppages, partial strikes and workplace actions—rather than calling an immediate general strike.
- A bloc of harder‑line unions including UTHGRA, UTA and La Fraternidad pressed for a 36‑hour national strike and a mass mobilization to Plaza de Mayo, keeping pressure inside the confederation.
- The CGT has stepped up coordination with the two CTAs and will combine workplace protests with judicial challenges to parts of the labor regulation that enable renegotiation of more than 400 collective agreements and cap solidarity contributions at 2 percent.
- Union leaders say a broader national measure remains possible later in the second semester, likely after the World Cup, and they warn the government's moves could deepen wage erosion, raise informality and disrupt transport and services if conflicts escalate.
