Argentina Milei offers voluntary retirement to public employees amid dismissal accusations

Argentina's government under President Milei has issued Decree 1203/26, creating a voluntary retirement program for public employees with exit bonuses, enrollment from Nov 1-30. Critics label the measure 'extortionate dismissal,' suggesting it pressures workers to leave. This is part of Milei's broader austerity drive to shrink the state, but the accusation of coercion marks a notable escalation in labor tensions.
