In this instance, the government will have the opportunity to present its defense and provide the evidence it deems pertinent to uphold the legality of the reform. The judicial ruling does not yet imply a final determination on the constitutionality of the law, a matter that will be analyzed later in the definitive sentence. However, the rejection of the injunction represents an initial setback for the CGT's judicial strategy, which sought to immediately halt the application of the labor reform promoted by the national government. The legal dispute is just beginning and promises to become one of the most relevant chapters in the institutional debate over the new labor scheme in Argentina, where issues of judicial organization, labor rights, and the distribution of powers between the Nation and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires converge. According to the court's criteria, the elements presented by the plaintiff did not demonstrate the existence of an immediate and irreparable harm that would justify altering the normal course of the judicial process. Based on this analysis, the judge ruled to reject the injunction requested by the CGT, allowing the challenged regulation to remain in force while the main case is processed. At the same time, the magistrate ordered the lawsuit to be served to the national government, which must present its report within a five-day period as stipulated in the Amparo Law 16,986. In particular, he emphasized that this type of measure is exceptional in nature and must be analyzed with special caution when it involves altering the existing factual or legal situation before the final sentence is issued. In this sense, the resolution underscores that the measure requested by the CGT practically coincided with the ultimate objective of the legal action, which is improper within the injunction regime. The labor union center also requested an innovative injunction to suspend the application of the law until a final ruling is issued on the merits of the case. The union leaders argued that the immediate enforcement of the norm would in practice lead to the disappearance of the National Labor Court, which —according to their interpretation— could cause irreparable damage to workers and to the existing judicial labor system. However, the judge determined that the requested injunction did not meet the necessary legal requirements for its granting. As the judge explained, a precautionary decision cannot anticipate or substitute the content of the final sentence of the process. The ruling also highlights that, at this initial stage of the proceeding, the existence of the so-called "danger in delay" was not verified, one of the essential requirements for granting injunctions. By Ramón Lanos Buenos Aires - March 11, 2026 - Total News Agency - TNA - Judge Enrique Lavié Pico, head of the Federal Administrative Court No. 7, rejected the injunction requested by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) against central aspects of the new Labor Modernization Law and ordered the lawsuit to be served to the national government to respond within the framework of the judicial process initiated by the union center. The ruling constitutes the first significant judicial pronouncement regarding the CGT's offensive against Law 27,802, recently enacted, and particularly against its Articles 90 and 91, which establish the transfer of jurisdiction from the National Labor Court to the Labor Court of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires through an agreement included in the norm. In its judicial filing, made on March 6, the CGT promoted an amparo action with the objective of having the nullity and unconstitutionality of those articles and the institutional agreement that provides for the transfer of judicial functions declared.
