Pollo Sobrero criticised the CGT and said that “the strike comes out of pressure from the people”

After the announcement by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) of a new general strike for May 9, union leader Rubén “El Pollo” Sobrero denounced that the CGT “has no intention of going on strike” and assured that “it comes out of the pressure of the people.” In the midst of the tension in the face of the massive state layoffs and the call for a new general strike for May 9, the union leader criticized the bleak economic outlook in Argentina and questioned the true intentions of the CGT. The country is being devastated, destroyed and people are very angry. The strike comes out of the pressure that there was from the people and from some leaders, but the CGT has no intention or desire to strike,” said Sobrero in dialogue with No La Ven, the program broadcast by Splendid-AM 990. And he added that “when they sign salaries below the poverty line, it means that they don’t care that their workers are poor.” On the other hand, he pointed out the meeting between Argentine President Javier Milei and businessman Elon Musk at the Tesla plant. “Elon Musk makes me very angry, not because of Musk, but because Javier Milei never went to visit an Argentine factory. He went to visit Musk for an ideological issue,” Sobrero said.
