Overview
- Minister Federico Sturzenegger outlined a four‑bill agenda that includes labor and tax reforms and said the draft labor bill does not lengthen the daily workday or cut vacations.
- The Executive plans to send the reform to Congress after negotiations in the Council of Mayo, with participants acknowledging there is no closed text yet and consensus still under discussion.
- A circulating draft describes bank‑of‑hours scheduling via collective agreements, the option to fragment vacations, expanded non‑remunerative benefits, and an 80% non‑remunerative sick‑leave payment.
- Proposed changes would cap dismissal compensation at ten monthly salaries, exclude the aguinaldo from the calculation, and allow a severance fund or private insurance in lieu of traditional indemnities, while creating ARCA registries and covering platform workers.
- Unions including the CGT publicly oppose the initiative, the earlier DNU 70/23 remains suspended pending Supreme Court review, and reporting highlights prior input from private‑sector lawyers and former Techint executives in drafting the original decree.
