Overview

  • Federal Judge Martina Isabel Forns of Court No. 2 in San Martín ordered the government to undo the pases a disponibilidad for roughly 300 INTA workers, warning of a ARS 10,000,000 daily penalty for noncompliance.
  • The Economy Ministry’s Resolución 1240/2025 placed hundreds of employees into disponibilidad shortly after the Senate rejected DNU 462/25, with reports citing about 287–300 affected at INTA and additional staff at INV and INASE.
  • The injunction specifically applies to INTA, while unions ATE and APINTA pursue further amparos to extend protections to INV and INASE, including a filing to reverse 49 INV Mendoza cases.
  • Most affected employees have remained at their workplaces under union-organized assemblies as formal notifications lag and leadership engages with workers pending court outcomes.
  • Regional research and community programs face uncertainty, with 37 personnel listed in disponibilidad at IPAF NOA and long-running projects in rural and indigenous areas at risk.
