Milei Government Ramps Up Push for Labor Reform as Senate Sets Jan. 26 Debate

The drive pivots to a January 16 strategy meeting, with a commission vetting objections to shape a text that can pass before extraordinary sessions.

Overview

  • Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni reconvened the administration’s political table for January 16, bringing together Martín Menem, Patricia Bullrich, Diego Santilli, Eduardo “Lule” Menem and Ignacio Devitt, with possible participation by Karina Milei and Luis Caputo.
  • In the Senate, a commission headed by lawyer Josefina Tajes begins work to analyze objections and feed changes into the bill ahead of the chamber’s January 26 discussion.
  • The government signaled readiness to negotiate modifications, including in talks with the CGT, to assemble the roughly 37 votes needed for quorum.
  • Disputed items under review include the tax chapter and the Fondo de Asistencia Laboral, even as the December 18 committee draft spans 213 articles across multiple labor statutes.
  • Interior Minister Diego Santilli resumed provincial outreach in Chubut and plans meetings in Chaco and Mendoza to shore up support before sessions expected to start on February 2.
