The Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT), one of Argentina's largest trade unions, is preparing to file a lawsuit asserting that the proposed labor reform law, if passed by Congress, violates constitutional rights regarding employment. The CGT's legal argument will focus on a few major concerns, chiefly that the law regresses workers' rights and jeopardizes the right to work. They also intend to contest the anticipated dissolution of the national labor justice system, which they view as essential for protecting workers' interests.

The union plans to initiate the lawsuit once the new law receives Senate approval, attacking the legislation on broad ideological grounds rather than challenging specific articles at first. The CGT believes that such a sweeping approach is necessary to address the overarching negative implications of the reform. Individual workers would then have the opportunity to contest specific provisions through separate legal actions as they encounter related issues in their workplaces.

This development comes amid intensifying debates over labor laws in Argentina, highlighting the tug-of-war between government efforts to reform labor regulations and the pushback from unions and labor rights advocates. The outcome of this legal challenge could have significant implications for the future of labor rights in Argentina and how legislation impacts the workforce, particularly in terms of job security and legal recourse.
