Sturzenegger Confronts Commerce Chamber Leader Over Injunction at Council of the Americas

A court order keeps INACAP’s training levy in place under CCT 130/75 pending a final ruling.

Federico Sturzengger cruzó a Mario Grinman en el Council of the Americas.

Overview

  • From the stage, Minister Federico Sturzenegger urged CAC president Mario Grinman to withdraw the precautionary measure and said the business leadership was a “casta.”
  • Grinman replied, “We live in a democracy,” and maintained that the Chamber was not the petitioner of the injunction.
  • Decree 149/2025 ended mandatory payments by non‑affiliated companies to employer chambers, converting them to voluntary contributions.
  • Before the decree, the INACAP contribution was about ARS 4,725 per employee, an estimated near ARS 70,000 million annually.
  • The tribunal’s precautionary decision cited a potential conflict with CCT 130/75 and the risk of defunding worker training, so INACAP continues receiving the funds until the case is resolved.
