Argentine Unions Strike Against Milei's Sweeping Economic Reforms
-
Powerful Argentine trade unions are preparing to strike against President Javier Milei's radical economic reforms on January 24th.
-
Milei aims to slash public spending, privatize state assets, eliminate price controls and reform labor laws to boost the economy.
-
The reforms have initially pleased markets and the IMF, but face growing opposition from unions, lawyers, doctors and other interest groups.
-
The main union group filed an injunction to block Milei's labor reforms and called the early January 24th strike.
-
There are also concerns Milei lacks congressional support for tax hikes needed to reach his targeted budget surplus.
