Overview
- On January 19, the state workers’ union ATE formally notified the government to annul INTI’s Resolution 213/25.
- The resolution would end model approvals, certifications, and in‑use checks for fuel pumps, commercial scales, alcoholimeters, cinemometers, and certain medical instruments.
- ATE characterizes the move under President Javier Milei as a vaciamiento and a step toward privatization, warning of risks to consumer protection and public safety.
- Union figures indicate about 147 workers linked to the affected areas across provinces could see their jobs jeopardized.
- ATE announced plenaries and workplace assemblies to set a plan of action, and no official response or judicial decision had been reported.
