Argentine Court Suspends Labor Reform Articles

The Justice suspended articles of the labor reform following a presentation by the CGT. 'These are extraordinary measures, not daily measures that can be issued in any situation,' said Judge Raúl Ojeda. 'We have not had laws that create extraordinary situations like this. They must be taken with great care and with great precaution,' he explained. Ojeda indicated that it is an 'extraordinary' situation. He also clarified that it is not 83 articles that are challenged, but 82. He also clarified the scope of the measure: 'It is a precautionary measure and therefore a provisional one. For example, the CGT did not file an injunction against the Bases Law, which also had controversial regulations,' he highlighted. 'This law is unprecedented, it is very extensive, it covers many individuals; it covers all unions, it covers all collective agreements,' he concluded.
