Argentina's Milei Restricts Right to Strike in Key Sectors

Argentina's Milei Restricts Right to Strike in Key Sectors

Argentina's president, Javier Milei, has made it harder for workers to go on strike.

He created a list of important services like schools and shipping where people have to keep working, even during a strike.

Before, companies and unions decided how much work would still happen.

Now, workers in the important services have to keep 75% of their services running during a strike.

Other groups have to maintain 50% of services.

Unions are not happy about these new rules.

They have gone on strike several times since Milei became president.
