Buenos Aires, April 9 (RHC)-- Argentinean workers mobilized this Monday in rejection of more than 100 layoffs in the railway sector promoted by the government of Javier Milei.

Workers insist that they have been illegally dismissed without notice. They assured that no one is redundant, and that these workers have years of experience in the sector.

On the other hand, other unions continue negotiations to improve wages in the face of a high inflationary context. The Unión Tranviaria Automotor (UTA) continues to demand a wage increase but in the absence of a response from the business sector.

After a three-hour meeting between the leaders of the UTA and the businessmen of the Transportation chambers, it was agreed to meet again on Wednesday and look for a solution to the wage conflict.

According to the platform Página 12, the claim has as its central axis an unapproved bargaining agreement, which would take away some 200 thousand pesos from the driver's salary.

Meanwhile, another sector has also declared that it will mobilize. In this sense, the Central de Trabajadores y Trabajadoras de la Argentina Autónoma (CTA Autónoma), has called for a great federal university march for April 25.

"The critical situation - in terms of salaries and budget - of the National Universities and the Public System of Science and Technology caused by the Milei Government, the general attack that the government party makes on education equating it with indoctrination and the recent declaration of one of its main referents - Benegas Lynch - who claims freedom to legitimize child labor against the right to compulsory education, raise the need for a response in unity: unity to defend the public, free, secular and quality university", specified the Autonomous CTA.
