Argentine Unions Protest Milei's Labor Reform
In Argentina, many workers and their unions are very upset about a new law that the president, Javier Milei, wants to pass.
This law would make it harder for workers to strike, change their working hours, and get paid when they lose their jobs.
The unions say this is not fair and will make workers' lives harder.
They had a big protest in the capital, Buenos Aires, and other cities to show their disagreement.
The president says this law will help the economy, but the unions are worried it will take away their rights and make their jobs less secure.
Argentine unions protested against President Javier Milei's labor reform bill.
The bill aims to limit strike rights, modify working hours, and change severance pay.
Unions argue the reform will reduce workers' rights and dignity.
The protest paralyzed downtown Buenos Aires and other cities.
The bill is expected to advance in Congress despite opposition.
