Ah Moyano, the thorn in the arse of TMBOA (and so large he couldn't miss it) is now working himself up to have a crack at Macri.

If only Macri had had the balls to deal with the unions instead of capitulating when they first crossed sword he probably wouldn't be in the shit now.

The clash between the unions and Macri is likely to be the defining feature of the Macri Presidency up to the next election.

Now is the time to crush them.
It would be good for Argentina to rid themselves of these monsters once and for all.

Macri take on the unions? Get serious. He has so little support in the congress. About half of the judiciary is aligned with Kirchnerismo or some other flavour of the PJ. Many of the provincial governors are aligned against Macrismo. You may have noticed how the unions and their lackeys squashed Uber like a bug. Macri take on the unions? Don't be silly. Not unless you want national paralysis and fighting in the streets again.

How the Argie unions are buggering tourism, education, industry, and supplies of fuel and other necessities in Tierra del Fuego. And it mentions that union members can retire with benefits (paid with public funds) at as young as age 45. No real mention of the recent events in which a Tierra del Fuego truck-drivers group beat the bejezzus out of some of these striking union people.
