Argentine Senate Presents Labor Reform Bill

Senator Patricia Bullrich presented the final text of the labor modernization bill, featuring 28 consensus-based amendments aimed at eliminating the 'litigation industry'. A politically charged vote and mass protests by unions are expected.


The head of the La Libertad Avanza bloc in the Senate, Patricia Bullrich, held a press conference to present the final text of the labor modernization bill, which will be voted on this Wednesday. "We have reached an agreement to debate the first labor law in democracy," Bullrich emphasized, and asserted that the initiative "will be a strategic change in labor relations." The ruling party senator showcased a display of political strength, accompanied by lawmakers from her own bloc and allies.

"This reform was built with 44 hours of work by the nation's senators," she remarked. She specified that the text "has 28 consensus-based modifications," and highlighted that "the fundamental point of this reform is the elimination of the litigation industry." "Over the years, a litigation industry has been generated that has harmed workers and companies," Bullrich stressed. This chapter defines what can be judicialized and what cannot, and it defines what a salary is.

It will be a high-voltage political day inside Congress, as well as in its surroundings, with the mobilization called by the CGT in rejection of the labor modernization law.
