Argentina’s Senate backs President Milei’s contentious labor overhaul after protests
Violent scenes and pragmatic talks
Milei and his officials lashed out at left-wing opponents as security forces struggled to control protesters outside Congress, firing water cannons and rubber bullets. Demonstrators lobbed petrol bombs, stones and water bottles. Authorities said they made at least 15 arrests, among them protesters accused of attacking police officers.
Amid fierce protests, Milei’s neoliberal labor reform advances
The reform also opens the door for companies to stop paying overtime and instead compensate workers with days off or reduced working hours. Vacations, which were usually offered in the summer, can now be spread out throughout the year.
...wages can now be paid in any currency, kind, food, or lodging, which has been compared to pre-capitalist forms of payment.
The reform aims directly at weakening the power of trade unions, which have played a historic role in defending rights in Argentina. For example, agreements within each company will now take precedence over collective agreements by sector of activity....
...The right to strike is also threatened, as unions will now have to guarantee 75% of operations in essential services, such as health, education, energy, transportation, and water, and 50% in the case of banks, mining, industry, and e-commerce.

Milei tar motorsågen mot facken och får Molotovs och gatsten i gensvar.
När man läser om dessa reformer så låter det som att Argentina är på väg in i något feodalismiskt samhällesstyre där i princip du ägs av din arbetsgivare. Den här reformen tar i effekt bort alla arbetstagarrättigheter.
Milei är anarko-kapitalist så reformerna dom han genomför är inte förvånande från det perspektivet. Åtstramningarna han satte Argentina under när han blev tillvald tappar nu effekt, inflationen är på väg upp och GDP ökar inte.
Argentina’s inflation climbs again as questions rise over Milei’s policies
Det finns inga nedskärningar kvar i det offentliga så nu ger han sig på arbetarna. Hur han föreställer sig att ekonomin ska gå runt när folk inte kommer ha råd med något vet jag inte.
Går utvecklingen bakåt i Argentina? Kommer landet förvandlas till en bananrepublik? Har Milei rätt, kommer det här rädda Argentinas ekonomi?
