Overview
- FAECyS and the chambers CAC, CAME and UDECA signed a commerce agreement covering about 1.2 million workers, which wholesalers say raises non‑wage charges that hurt competitiveness and feed informality.
- Wholesalers target the INACAP levy equal to 0.5% of the Maestranza A wage per worker, noting a precautionary injunction has suspended Decree 149/2025 that sought to limit these charges on non‑affiliated employers.
- INACAP acknowledged annual revenues above $30,000 million in the related court case, intensifying calls for transparency over where the funds go.
- CADAM also cites the La Estrella retirement insurance set at 1.6% of salary since June 2025 and the pandemic‑era OSECAC contribution that remains in force, even for some workers not affiliated to that health fund.
- The group demands entry to the bargaining table and an urgent labor reform, proposes folding certain levies into wages, and criticizes the new deal’s ARS 100,000 non‑remunerative extra for Dec 2025–Mar 2026 that is slated for basic pay in April 2026 with no scale increases this round.
