"Union Strikes Test Argentina's President Milei's Policies"

Argentina's largest union, the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), led a 12-hour strike with tens of thousands of workers protesting in Buenos Aires against President Javier Milei's economic austerity measures and reforms. The strike, affecting sectors from transport to banks, is the biggest opposition to Milei's plans since he took office last month. Milei's government vowed to stick to its reform plans despite the strikes, while the powerful Peronist opposition bloc opposes the omnibus bill. Milei aims to stabilize Argentina's economy, which is reeling from high inflation and poverty, through spending cuts and privatization, but faces significant resistance from unions and opposition parties.
