Air traffic controllers join the CGT's general strike for April 10

The Association of Technicians and Employees of Protection and Safety in Air Navigation (ATEPSA), the union representing air traffic controllers, confirmed its participation in the national strike called by the CGT for April 10, which once again seeks to destabilize the Government of Javier Milei.

Additionally, three other aviation unions, APLA, APA, and UPSA, will also join the violent measure of force by the central union. As a result, flight cancellations at all airports are expected, while airlines will attempt to reorganize their schedules.

"We reaffirm our active adherence to the national strike called by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) for April 10, an organization of which ATEPSA is a part, as well as to the mobilizations promoted by the different union confederations to which we belong," the union expressed in an official statement.

ATEPSA, which groups air traffic controllers from all the country's airports, announced that it is in a "state of alert and mobilization." It also called for a new meeting on April 4 at 12 p.m. with the supposed aim of "defending wages," jobs, and working conditions in the sector.

The union reiterated that its members will join the general strike promoted by the CGT and will not perform their duties on Thursday, April 10. Similarly, the Airline Pilots Association (APLA), the Aeronautical Personnel Association (APA), and the Union of Senior and Professional Personnel of Air Commercial Companies (UPSA) will also participate in the measure of force.

Due to the adherence of the aviation unions, airlines could be forced to cancel or reschedule flights, which will negatively impact thousands of passengers, who once again become hostages of the ideological whims of the unionists.

The CGT strike

A few days ago, the board of directors of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) formalized the third strike against the government of Javier Milei, something unprecedented. The measure of force will take place on April 10, while the day before, Wednesday the 9th, they will hold a mobilization in Congress.

Meanwhile, La Fraternidad and the Railway Union confirmed their participation in the general strike, which will mean the total suspension of train service for 24 hours.

As for the subway, the metro delegates led by Roberto Pianelli, aligned with the CTA, also announced their adherence to the strike, which will at least cause a reduction in service frequency.
