UCU: Challenge Milei's Agenda, Stand with Argentinian Workers

Motion

Motion text: Notes:
1. Javier Milei advocates extreme right-wing policies aimed at eradicating labour rights, gender equality, the right to protest, and environmental standards.
2. His proposed reforms, often described as “Thatcherism on steroids” entail suspending public sector labour contracts, privatising state-owned enterprises, and drastically altering labour laws to the detriment of workers and their unions.
3. Milei's authoritarian rhetoric, such as suggesting protestors should face “prison or bullet” necessitates international vigilance against assaults on Argentinian workers, socialists, the LGBTQ+ community, and social movements.
Believes:
a. It is imperative to support Argentinian workers, socialists, environmental activists, the LGBTQ+ community, and social movements in resisting persecution for their politics.
b. We stand in solidarity with these groups and advocate for their rights and causes.
Resolves:
i. Congress urges UCU to demonstrate active solidarity by inviting the aforementioned campaigners to the UK to raise awareness among UCU members
