The PIT-CNT called a 24-hour general strike for this Tuesday, April 25 against the pension reform project.
“The people know that the government has the false story that this reform is positive and that we can continue working after retiring,” they said from their official Twitter account when announcing the measure.
The measure coincides with the vote that began this Monday in the Chamber of Deputies and its passage to the Senate, scheduled for Tuesday.
The president of the PIT-CNT, Marcelo Abdala, said at a press conference that the measure will affect all services. According to Abdala, the reform is nothing more than “a disguised fiscal adjustment.”
“It was born criticizing an alleged deficit in the Social Welfare Bank, but instead of improving financing, it cuts rights,” he said.
“This reform was born without popular support and that is why we demand that they refrain from voting for it”, says the central in its call, adding that “the workers do not give up, we are committed to a great social dialogue and that this discussion be postponed . But if they approve it, be very clear that they will have the strong opposition of the union movement and the popular movement all “.
