Argentina Governors Open to Labor Overhaul, Draw Red Lines on Workers’ Rights

Following a cabinet shake-up, governors request federal consultations to shape modernization without retroactive changes.

Overview

  • Tucumán’s Osvaldo Jaldo backs updating labor rules for technological and global competition, stressing that laws will not be retroactive and acquired rights “are not touched.”
  • Córdoba’s Martín Llaryora welcomes a “change of attitude” from President Milei after the cabinet reconfiguration, urging broad, institutional dialogue and warning against rolling back rights.
  • The national government put labor and tax reform at the center of last week’s meeting with governors, seeking room to align regulations with advances such as robotics and artificial intelligence.
  • Jaldo proposes regionalized collective bargaining so wage agreements reflect local economic conditions and subsidy gaps, citing UTA pay set in Buenos Aires for the entire country.
  • Provincial leaders underscore their role in sustaining social peace after earlier national retrenchment, note renewed transfers to some programs, and signal readiness to work with new Interior Minister Diego Santilli.
