Appeals Court Validates UTHGRA Vote Suspension, Orders CABA Seccional Restitution

The decision bolsters Luis Barrionuevo’s standing in the union’s Buenos Aires branch after years of internal litigation.

Overview

  • Sala IX of the National Labor Appeals Court upheld the Junta Electoral Central’s resolutions that suspended the December 2021 CABA election.
  • The ruling orders Dante Camaño and Juan Castro to immediately return the seccional’s assets and holds them responsible for alleged improper use of union funds.
  • UTHGRA’s national board hailed the decision as confirming the legitimacy of the organization’s leadership under Barrionuevo.
  • Days earlier, Sala VI suspended a planned vote at the request of the Camaño-aligned Lista Gris/Naranja, indicating the dispute remains active.
  • The court cited evidence of irregularities in 2021, including blocked access for Lista Azul fiscal observers and a turnout of 3,812 votes out of 62,965 eligible members.
