The call was made by the Secretary of Labor, Julio Cordero, as “continuity of social dialogue tables promoted by the Ministry of Human Capital”. The statement invites “business and worker representations to a tripartite technical dialogue table with the objective of analyzing “the new article 242 of the Employment Contract Law, sanctioned in the Base Law“.
The meeting will take place on Thursday the 24th at 2:00 p.m. at Alem 650, headquarters of the Ministry of Labor. The Argentine Industrial Union was called to send representatives (UIA); the Argentine Chamber of Construction (CAMARCO); Association of Argentine Banks (ADEBA); the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange; the Argentine Chamber of Commerce (CAC); the Argentine Rural Society (MRS) and the Argentine Confederation of Medium Enterprises (CAME).
“Meanwhile, on behalf of the workers, there was a call to send representatives to the General Confederation of Labor (CGT)”, says the statement released tonight.
What does article 242 of the Bases law say and what is the point of discussion
He article 242 in question, modified by the Bases law, refers to the legal interpretation of the “Just cause” in case of dismissal. The hot point of the discussion lies in what is meant by “partial” or “total” blockade of companies.
“It is presumed that there exists serious injury when, during a direct action measure: a) the freedom to work of those who do not adhere to the measure of force is affected, through acts, facts, intimidation or threats; b) prevent u obstruct total either partially he entry or exit of people and/or things to the establishment; c) damage is caused to people or things owned by the company or third parties located in the establishment (facilities, merchandise, supplies and raw materials, tools, etc.) or they are improperly retained,” the article states.
In July, after a meeting with Cordero, the triumvir Hector Daer He complained about the “vagueness” of the modifications implemented to the Employment Contract law. “The articles are very vague, something unprecedented in labor legislation,” he stated. The labor union had been requesting a hearing to mitigate as much as possible the effects that, they consider, are negative for labor rights.
The new tripartite table will try to promote a consensus for the implementation of the new article 242, which has not yet been regulated by the Government. For the CGT, the lack of certainty about its application puts the right to strike at risk.
