Buenos Aires, Argentina – Argentina’s lower house of Congress narrowly approved a contentious labor reform bill after a 12-hour session, marking a significant victory for President Javier Milei. The bill aims to modernize labor relations, facilitating hiring and firing with provisions like extending work hours and creating a “time bank” for overtime. Despite supporters claiming it will boost productivity, critics argue it undermines worker rights and increases job insecurity, prompting widespread protests and a national strike. Demonstrators expressed concern over potential economic impacts, highlighting the bill’s negative effects on vulnerable workers.
