Overview

  • The national federation FAECyS and major employer chambers moved the sectoral non-working day from Sept. 26 to Monday, Sept. 29, 2025 to create a long weekend.
  • Large supermarkets, shopping centers and retail chains plan to close on Sept. 29 under the accord, with local unions such as Rosario’s confirming shutdowns.
  • Law 26.541 treats the day as non-working with the effects of a national holiday, and the Labor Contract Law requires double pay if attendance is mandated.
  • Mendoza’s Centro Empleados de Comercio announced a different observance on Monday, Sept. 22, after an agreement with UCIM, CECITYS and FEM at the provincial labor office.
  • Reports note that owner-operated small shops often remain open even as big chains, galleries and hypermarkets close for the observance.
