Argentine state union ATE calls 24-hour strike, march on Congress amid Milei decree showdown

ATE, Argentina's main state workers' union, has called a 24-hour national strike for Thursday, October 15, with a march to Congress coinciding with a Federal University March. The action comes as the opposition seeks to force a Chamber of Deputies vote to reject President Javier Milei's sweeping deregulation megadecree. This escalates labor opposition to Milei's reform agenda, with the strike and march likely to intensify political pressure ahead of the legislative vote.
