BUENOS AIRES, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Argentina's main union federation led a massive demonstration on Thursday against a government labor reform bill that seeks, among other measures, to put limits on the right to strike and modify employee working hours and severance pay.
The protest, which paralyzed downtown Buenos Aires and was replicated in other cities across the country, aims to influence lawmakers who this week began discussing in Congress the bill proposed by right-wing libertarian President Javier Milei, who has framed it as a way to create more formal sector jobs and reduce bureaucracy.
