Federico Sturzenegger, in charge of creating the chapters of the labor reform, He spoke about the regulations made official through the Official Gazette.
He Minister of Deregulation and State Transformationexplained some general changes and emphasized a condition that workers will always have in their favor: “Freedom of choice.”
In a recent interview, Sturzenegger explained that what the Executive did was “create a system, approved by Congress, that allows the parties freely decide how to design working conditions.” “We give them the freedom to decide on labor reform as they wish, with only one condition: If the worker does not like it, he can stick with Law 2744, the current compensation law”he said.
In that sense, he added in dialogue with TN: “And If the company doesn’t like it, then it doesn’t enter the new system. With this, we guarantee that both employers and workers will see that they will be better off.”
What are the changes established by the labor reform?
The section published on Wednesday night includes changes in the compensations It was one of the most important and the one that required the most negotiations, given that it adds the possibility of creating by agreement a “cessation system” to replace the current one.
He also clarified that all changes made will be covered by “collective protection”. “Nothing will be done that does not have collective protection. And if the worker does not like the new system, he will remain protected against dismissal. The system that is designed can never be harmful to the worker, and if it were, he would simply not accept it.“, the minister insisted.
Sturzenegger said that the entire regulatory framework was part of a “collective work”. “Ministers, businessmen, the CGT, everyone participated, not only when the Basic Law was approved, but also in the regulations.”
“When we started on this path of reform, what Milei said was that, throughout history, reforms always seemed to be for businessmen or for workers. He told me that If we could not make a reform that would benefit both employers and workers, it was better to do nothing,” He added: “Let us get out of the gap that the reform is for some or for others. In addition, different systems can be created by province or by company.”
The conflict with Aerolíneas Argentinas
Finally, Sturzenegger spoke about the conflict surrounding Argentine Airlines and gave his opinion on how it should be solved. “There are many possible options. On a personal level, a good one is to give it to employees. It is something that can be done quickly and legally. In my opinion, It would be an expeditious measure. But a privatization project is also being discussed, which is perfectly an alternative,” he said.
“If the company is private or owned by employees, let them do what they want.“But if it is supported by taxpayers’ money, it is unacceptable. How can they have the audacity to ask for money from people who get up at five in the morning to pay their taxes?” he questioned.
However, he was optimistic that the privatization project that will be discussed in Congress could be implemented. “We sense a significant change in Congress itself. In the Basic Law we had proposed privatization, but they removed it. Now we feel the change and it is being dealt with again: the shares are being transferred and legal proceedings are underway.”
