Radicalism lacked a signature in Deputies to make a modification in the way of selecting authorities in unions.
Although the authorities of the Labor Legislation Commissionchaired between the PRO and the UCRthey were confident of having the prior support to advance the project of “union democracy“, a last minute change frustrated the ruling in the Chamber of Deputies. On the other hand, The path of two labor credit projects continues.
The initiative promoted by the Buenos Aires native Martin Tetaz (UCR) aimed at the elimination of indefinite re-elections for general secretaries, the elimination of the mandatory solidarity fee and the implementation of the clean record for union members. Likewise, the regulation of a five-member body in the leadership of unions with representation of minorities was aimed at and new election schemes for union social work were established.
At first there was plenty of consensus for the approval of the opinion, but the proximity between the CGT and Casa Rosada They brought down the project in September, when representatives of La Libertad Avanza desisted from supporting radicalism. However, they once again obtained support for this new meeting. They needed 16 of the 31 signatures, but a last-minute drop took away key support: the cordoban Alejandra Torres (Federal Meeting) gave his place on the commission to the head of his block, Miguel Pichettowho is more in tune with union leaders.
“I come to express my rejection of the proposal,” he began Pichettowho after listing labor reforms already approved in the Bases law said: “It seems to me that a purely parliamentary debate is not enough, it is essential to call the representatives of the union organizations because there are some experiences that have been very frustrating in Argentine history. when it comes to addressing these issues. “We have to be realistic about the limits that the Government has and the Government itself did not understand”concluded and confirmed that the drafters of the opinion would rely on 15 signatures.

Deputies
Later, and with some sarcasm, a representative of unionism, the man from Santiago José Gómez (Union for the Homeland)gave Peronism a scare: “My colleagues are going to excuse me, but I am going to support the radical decision of not re-election in the unions… but as long as we, in the Chamber of Deputies, put a clause that we cannot be re-elected“. “This is legislating on issues that do not concern us. The people have the power to vote and the member has the power to vote,” he concluded.
Labor contract reform
Subsequently, there were two opinions for the reform of articles 255 and 276 of the Law No. 20,744 on Employment Contractcorresponding to the worker’s re-entry and compensation and the updating of the labor credits for monetary depreciation. Both sections were reformed through DNU 70/2023 and are paralyzed in the middle of a judicial process.
The project of the most has the support of the PRO, the UCR and La Libertad Avanza -in dissent- and raises “a pure interest rate of 3% per year“for compensation while the time of the judicial litigation passes. “This project tries to provide certainty, it will allow not only to recompose and adapt the original credit in a claim of a labor nature, but also, it will grant predictability and legal certainty“said the man from Rio Negro Sergio Capozzi (PRO).
The minority opinion gathered signatures from Federal Meeting and Union for the Homeland. The deputy for the province of Buenos Aires, Sergio Palazzo (Union for the Homeland)considered the sum of 3% annually “meager” and highlighted the project that aims at an update by CPI plus 5% annually: “With the burden of having been indignified for not recognizing a right or compensation for which he is litigating, this situation cannot also be allowed to lead him to lose the value of his work credit.”
The rejection ruling was signed alone by Alejandro Vilca (FIT).
