Government to Send Labor Reform to Congress on Dec. 9 as CGT Rejects Plan

A sealed draft on a faster timetable positions the fight for extraordinary sessions in Congress.

Overview

  • The Council of Mayo moved its final report to Dec. 9 to align with extraordinary sessions that start on Dec. 10.
  • Federico Sturzenegger presented only broad guidelines to the Council while keeping the full text confidential.
  • CGT leader Gerardo Martínez said the union will oppose any loss of rights and will lobby governors and lawmakers to block passage.
  • Drafts in circulation cite limits on ultraactividad, company-level bargaining, changes to severance, hour banks, longer workdays, and options to pay wages in foreign currencies.
  • The UIA and key legislators await the bill’s details as the government presses its modernization agenda without full consensus.
