Argentina’s Senate has approved labour reforms backed by President Javier Milei that relax hiring rules, allow for longer working days and impose new limits on the right to strike, prompting renewed protests over the government’s austerity policies.
The Senate approved the so-called “labour modernization law” on Friday with 42 votes in favour, 28 against and two abstentions, handing the libertarian president one of his most significant legislative wins.
