Argentina's national government has proposed a Labor Reform project that critics argue fails to address the current and future employment challenges within the country. Instead of providing solutions for the unemployed or those working informally, the reform is seen as aimed at increasing job precarity and undermining both individual and collective rights established by the National Constitution. By design, the reform primarily benefits large economic groups and overlooks the needs of smaller businesses and, importantly, the workers themselves.

Proponents of the reform suggest that it will modernize labor practices, yet detractors argue that it achieves the opposite by promoting an easier path to termination and by reducing employee rights. The reform does not create new job opportunities or improve contractual practices; instead, it maintains a focus on minimizing labor costs at the expense of job security and worker protections. Advocates for labor rights express concerns about how this reform could intensify the struggles of those already in vulnerable employment situations.

In essence, the reform primarily seeks to diminish workers' rights to lower employment costs for employers and to weaken union power, which is viewed negatively by labor advocates. This proposed legislation raises significant concerns about its long-term implications for the labor market in Argentina, suggesting that the focus should instead be on safeguarding workers' interests and fostering a healthier employment environment, rather than catering to economic elites."
