Argentine Trade Unionists Point to Gains on May Day

To mark May Day, International Workers' Day, Argentine trade unions and worker cooperatives took stock of the situation of the working class and the road ahead. May Day 2015 occurs in the last year of President Cristina Fernandez's administration and trade unions used the occasion to point to the significant gains labor has made in the past decade. The workers' movement is still recovering from the effects of 20 or 30 years of neoliberal policies, which led to increased unemployment, reduced workplace benefits and weakened labor legislation, and the destruction of domestic industry.
