While Italy’s communist tradition remains fragmented and politically marginal, France’s party is attempting to re-establish itself as an independent force rooted in working-class organisation, says NICK WRIGHT
THE central committee of Argentina’s oldest and largest trade union confederation, the CGT, has announced that there will be a general strike on April 10, to protest against the anti-worker policies of President Javier Milei’s right-wing administration.
The organisation’s leadership has been put under considerable pressure by its constituent unions to take action as thousands of jobs in both the public and private sectors have been lost.
Since the last general strike almost a year ago, the real value of wages has fallen dramatically in the face of persistent inflation, and legislation has been introduced to curtail employment rights, during which time there has been a growing perception that the CGT was missing in action.
