ARGENTINA: RICHARD O'MARA, SUN FOREIGN EDITOR, PAGE 5
FROM B.A. ("ALFONSIN SETS OUT TO CHALLENGE UNIONS") SAYS
NEW PRESIDENT RAUL ALFONSIN "WILL FACE HIS FIRST SERIOUS
CHALLENGE TODAY, AS THE MINIONS OF LABOR ASSEMBLE AT THE
NATIONAL CONGRESS TO PROTEST NEW LEGISLATION THAT WOULD
REORGANIZE THE UNIONS THAT FOR SO MANY DECADES HAVE HELD
SWAY OVER ARGENTINA'S POLITICAL LIFE." A THOUSAND FACTORY
WORKERS WENT TO THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE TUESDAY TO DEMAND
A 70 PERCENT PAY RAISE. JANUARY'S COST OF LIVING RAISE,
ANNOUNCED MONDAY, WAS 12.5 PERCENT. THE GOVERNMENT AGREED
TO AN EMERGENCY PAY RAISE OF ABOUT $4 A MONTH, BUT "THE
MEASURE IS NOT LIKELY TO CALM THE INCIPIENT UNREST," SAYS
O'MARA. "THE UNIONS ARE THE 'OTHER ARMY' OF ARGENTINA, A
BIGGER DRAGON FOR MR. ALFONSIN TO SLAY...THEY WERE FORGED
AS POLITICAL INSTRUMENTS BY JUAN PERON IN THE LATE 1940S.
THROUGH THE YEARS THEY HAVE EITHER SHARED OR DISPUTED
POWER WITH THE MILITARY. NOW, ARGENTINA IS RULED BY A
PRESIDENT FROM THE RADICAL PARTY WHO WILL TRY TO UNDERCUT
THE POWER OF THE UNIONS BY MAKING THEM MORE DEMOCRATIC,
MORE RESPONSIVE TO THEIR OWN MEMBERSHIP -- IN SHORT, LESS
POLITICAL." THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE UNIONS AND THE NEW
PRESIDEN T COULD NOT HAVE COME AT A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TIME
FOR ALFONSIN, SUGGESTS O'MARA. "UNION LEADERS ARE IN BAD
ODOR," WIDELY THOUGHT OF AS, AT BEST, COLLABORATORS WITH
THE DISCREDITED MILITARY REGIME AND, AT WORST, SIMPLE
