But to be fair is any world leader right now very popular and polling high? I don't see it anywhere. The scary thing is almost everywhere people are very divided.
 
Argentina can't drastically improve without this change to employment law. Will be very impressed if they can push this through. VLLC.
But I wonder how much this will actually improve things for workers? It seems like workers are so desperate to have jobs and a large part of the economy is underground. Workers will have less rights under the new laws. It's shocking to read about some of the abuses by companies even at big companies/stores.

 
This lady seems to sum things up well. Many people I know in Argentina are like her that don't want to turn to the past but worry about the future.

 
Details are emerging of Milei's sweeping labor reforms. It would be fabulous for business owners. I don't think workers know what is coming.

- Working days extended
- Pay based on productivity
- Reduction in holidays
- Reduction in severance pay
- Easier to fire workers

Would make Argentina much more productive.
