Sueño Fueguino Lays Off 35 in Tierra del Fuego After Court Ruling Halts Exports

The company warns of further cuts pending its appeal over exclusion from a key promotional regime.

Overview

  • The bedding maker dismissed 30 temporary and 5 permanent workers at its Río Grande plant on October 29.
  • Management says 25 trucks holding roughly 700 tonnes of finished goods are idle because the firm cannot export.
  • Sueño Fueguino was excluded from benefits under Law 19.640 after litigating against the State, constraining operations.
  • A precautionary injunction that had allowed shipments was revoked by the Cámara de Comodoro Rivadavia, and the company has appealed seeking to restore exports and rehire.
  • Owners caution that about 130 additional jobs could be lost, as provincial data show roughly 10,000 positions have disappeared in Tierra del Fuego since December 2023.
