Government Finalizes Labor Reform Bill, Drops Union Dues Limits Ahead of Senate Submission

Officials aim for a quick Senate debate before year-end with the text still open to final tweaks.

Overview

  • Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni said the bill is complete and will be filed with the Senate once President Javier Milei returns from Norway on Thursday.
  • Adorni confirmed the project no longer includes planned restrictions on union solidarity dues or union funds, a key concession to labor.
  • The administration is pushing for at least first-round approval in the upper house before year-end, even as officials acknowledge last-minute drafting adjustments.
  • The CGT skipped the Council of Mayo’s closing session and has warned it will resist any reform that it says removes workers’ rights.
  • The government plans to publish the Council of Mayo’s final report, finished projects, and supporting documents on Argentina.gob.ar, and says the reform targets high informality and updates rules for telework, platform jobs, and agrarian work.
