Overview
- Minister Federico Sturzenegger said the labor modernization aims to raise wages and expand formal employment.
- He downplayed reports of drastic workday expansions, while drafts linked to La Libertad Avanza reference a potential 12‑hour daily cap versus the current eight.
- Sturzenegger argued that taxes, union fees and litigation costs erode pay, estimating a potential ARS 100,000 monthly gain per worker if some intermediations were reduced.
- He outlined legal updates to the Ley de Contrato de Trabajo to boost clarity, simplify registration and lower litigation uncertainty, and cited vacation splitting by mutual agreement as a possible change.
- He urged the public to ignore circulating drafts until the official proposal is presented, as opposition union figures warned they would reject any return to previously struck‑down measures.
