Just eight hours after the Chamber of Deputies approved the modified labor reform, the ruling coalition managed to secure a new committee report in the Senate, paving the way for the final sanction of the proposal next week. Patricia Bullrich, the leader of the ruling party, confirmed the decision to accept the adjustments made by the lower house, which notably removed Article 44 that sought to alter sick leave regulations—changes that faced resistance from the PRO, UCR, and allied governors.

The committee report was signed during a joint meeting of the Labor and Social Security and Budget and Finance commissions, which are chaired by Bullrich and Ezequiel Atauche, respectively. This step ensures that the ruling coalition meets the seven-day regulation required to bring the project to the Senate floor. Given the swift movement through legislative steps, it reflects the urgency with which the government seeks to implement its labor reforms amidst the political climate.

The passage of this labor reform is significant for Argentina’s economic landscape, as it highlights the government's commitment to modifying labor laws that have been contentious across party lines. The involvement of multiple parties and governors not aligned with the ruling coalition indicates a broader debate about labor rights and business interests in a country grappling with economic challenges. The eventual outcome and its impact will be closely monitored by both supporters and critics of the legislation, as it could shape labor dynamics in the months ahead.
