Buenos Aires, March 30 (NA) – The Labor Court has provisionally suspended more than 80 articles of the labor reform promoted by the National Government, following a precautionary measure presented by the CGT. The text signed by the triumvirate of the central labor union, Jorge Alberto Sola, Octavio Argüello, and Cristian Jerónimo, managed to halt a significant part of the Labor Modernization Law (27.802), passed on February 27. The National Court of Labor warned of the possible “affectation of constitutional rights” and the risk of “imminent harm” to workers. IP “The General Confederation of Workers has active legitimacy to challenge the articles mentioned, both concerning the rights to unionization, collective bargaining, and strike, as well as in those individual aspects common and homogeneous to the entire group of workers whose performance is regulated by the norms of the Argentine Republic,” the document states. For now, this suspension is “provisional,” while the merits of the constitutionality of the norm are resolved.
