The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), the world’s largest trade union federation, ranked Argentina among the worst countries for labor rights in a report released on Monday.
According to the study, the country fell to the lowest category after experiencing a sharp decline across all indicators over the past two years under President Javier Milei, who rose to power in 2023.
The 13th ITUC Global Rights Index report showed the country falling to category 5 after previously sitting at 3. According to the report, this decline is among the sharpest recorded by the agency in its global survey.
Worse labor conditions
Among the main issues highlighted are restrictions on social protest, interference in the internal affairs of labor unions, and anti-union dismissals.
