Here’s hoping that Javier Milei’s labor market reforms continue to gain traction. Notice how the news item is framed in such a way as to draw no connection between the undeserved power of Peronist labor unions and “frequent economic shocks”.
The bill, which grants employers greater flexibility in matters of hiring, firing, severance and collective bargaining, has drawn fierce opposition from labor unions and their Peronist allies, who argue it would roll back measures that protect workers from abuse and Argentina’s notoriously frequent economic shocks.
The real scandal is that it falls to Milei to rein in the trade unions close to the 50th anniversary of the overthrow of Isabel Peron and the beginning of the National Reorganization Process. Fire them? Give them the chopper rides their abuelos missed out on.
Come back, General Videla. Your country needs you more than ever.
The Milei experiment has huge implications. Thet he has survived so long is encouraging and a bit of a miracle.
Inflation for 2025 will have come to around 35%, a significant drop from 117.8% the previous year, although there was a slight acceleration during the last quarter. Following a recovery in 2025, with analysts estimating growth of 4.4%, the IMF expects 4% growth in 2026.
If he can deal with the unions, Argentina has a good chance to serve as a template on how a country can be turned from a basket case to normalcy.
“Argentina has a good chance to serve as a template on how a country can be turned from a basket case to normalcy.”
There’s hope in that but many countries seem locked into their clownworld mindsets.
my belief at the time and still, when labour unions were in their nascant period early 1900s, they were vital, and good. pushing for sensible reforms regarding safe working conditions, age limits, wage reform, hours etc.
unions pulled all labour up out of the slave worker category.
then they morphed into the biggest blackmail schemers in the post war period.
and continue to kill the geese that lay the golden eggs
In a related UNIONISTA story … here in America … we need more latitude to FIRE all the deviant and incompetent public school teachers who would dare to “transition” your child in secret and/or teach your 11yo boys how to sukk cawk and your 11yo girls to licketysplit.
Or better yet … just allow parents to have school choice (portable education $$) and get their kids OUT of those indoctrination centers. And who knows? Maybe they’d actually learn something useful?
“11yo boys how to sukk cawk and your 11yo girls to licketysplit.”
You are truly sick. Get help.
No … you and CTH are sickos … I’m simply reporting it.
Your stale regurgitating isn’t reporting. It’s a mentally unhealthy fixation. Get help.
The only regurgitation is your constant harassment of everything I post … that, my friend … is a mental disturbance. Alas, I expect you are beyond help as are all your fellow LGBTQueer-mutants.
Everything? I marked you for a bullshitter long ago.
Harassment? Christlike Kenji is such a fragile flower.
You’re the only one. So, the way I calculate it … “everything”. You’re a malignant goofball.
He doesn’t strike me as all that malignant. A benign goofpolyp, at worst.
