Argentine labor and industrial leadership changes
Overview
Leadership restructuring is occurring across various Argentine labor unions and industrial federations.
Within the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), regional reorganizations have taken place in Tierra del Fuego, where new triumvirates were established in Ushuaia and Río Grande. In Paraná, the regional structure is transitioning from a triumvirate to a single-leader model, with Jorge “Piry” Ávalos selected to head the regional central.
In the CTA de los Trabajadores, Roberto Baradel has announced his candidacy for the national presidency, running on List 10 against Romina del Pla of the Multicolor List. The election is scheduled for November 3. This contest also involves a leadership change in the Buenos Aires branch.
In Entre Ríos, José Ángel Allende has been re-elected as General Secretary of UPCN for the 2026 to 2030 term, supported by Deputy Secretary Cristina Melgarejo. The renewal was attended by Governor Rogelio Frigerio, signaling continued institutional dialogue between the union and the provincial government.
In the industrial sector, Diego Cifarelli has been re-elected for an eighth consecutive term to lead the Argentine Federation of the Milling Industry (FAIM). His term will focus on wheat industrialization, operational efficiency, and addressing tax evasion and smuggling.
Regarding wage negotiations, the ATECH union in Chubut secured salary improvements for teaching hierarchical positions through a revised teacher nomenclator. In Santa Cruz, the AMET union is seeking urgent wage increases during upcoming negotiations, while oilseed workers in northern Santa Fe reported steady activity at the Vicentin and Buyatti plants.
