Overview
- A government draft of more than 100 articles is circulating for possible congressional submission, though no official bill has been filed.
- The text reported in local media would exclude app‑based workers from the Labor Contract Law, sending disputes to civil and commercial courts.
- The proposal would give company‑level bargaining precedence over sectoral agreements, with legacy pacts remaining for firms that do not negotiate their own.
- The draft also contemplates making professional licensing optional, allowing practice with a university degree instead of mandatory matriculation.
- Officials and analysts point to high labor litigation and weak formal job creation—alongside IARAF data showing seven monotributo roles for every ten registered jobs lost—as justification, as unions and employers contest the reform process and venues such as the Consejo de Mayo.
