Argentine workers protested in the capital of Buenos Aires on Thursday, as annual May Day demonstrations in the South American nation coincided with smoldering anger over President Javier Milei's recent overhaul of long-robust labor protections.
The General Confederation of Labor, or CGT, Argentina’s largest union group, called the march to “defend decent employment” against Milei’s changes to the labor code, which since 1974 had guaranteed generous protections and rights for Argentine workers but also meant high business costs that scared off foreign investors.
