This is what allows “partial” blockades to be taken as grounds for dismissal. The CGT assures that it harms the right to strike.
For union members, the lack of specification on this point can harm the right to strike; they propose creating a tripartite body to analyze each case.

The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) will meet this afternoon with the Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos at the Casa Rosada. Sources from the labor union told Ámbito that They will seek to accelerate the regulation of a key passage of the labor reform that was left unfinished in the regulation that was published last week. This is article 242 that allows “total” or “partial” blockades to be taken as grounds for dismissal. For union members, the lack of specification on this point can harm the right to strike; they propose creating a tripartite body to analyze each case. They will also seek to discuss a solution to the dispute over university funding.
“Impracticable” is how unionism defines the central points of the labor reform regulations. They rule out that it will generate significant changes at the level of compensation, since any modification will require the endorsement of the workers’ representatives, and they assure that the authorization of the figure of “collaborators”, far from reducing, will increase litigation. .
In the business world, the regulations did not generate a great impact. Until now there has only been a statement of support from the Argentine Chamber of Commerce and Services, which usually has positions very aligned with those of the Government.
With this panorama, the main concern of the General Confederation of Labor now involves the implementation of an article that, they consider, was left “unfinished” in the regulations that became official last week. This is 242 that aims to consider “total” or “partial” blockades as grounds for dismissal.
Precisely the last point is the one that causes the most tension within the union center. They understand that the definition of “partial” lockdown is very broad and could encompass almost anything: “Suppose you are in a factory and you hold an assembly in the dining room, that could be considered a partial blockade and transform a usual measure into grounds for dismissal,” one of the main referents explained to Ámbito.
For labor lawyer Juan Manuel Ottaviano, the modification of article 242 of the employment contract law that sanctioned the basic law “is so open that it criminalizes any union measure.” At that point, he considered that “the wording is broad enough that the dismissal of workers for the slightest harm during a strike or assembly can be justified without evidence or procedures” and concluded: “As it stands, it is as unconstitutional as it is inapplicable.”
As Ámbito learned, this will be one of the central points that the CGT leadership will discuss with the Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos. The proposal that the unions will carry out is to create a tripartite body in which the State and companies also have representation.in that table it would be analyzed case by case what configures a block and what does not.
Another issue that worries unions is the escalation of the conflict over university financing.. Next Wednesday the educational community will lead a massive march to demand teacher salaries. In the CGT they seek to build a bridge via Guillermo Francos, who is today the main interlocutor.
