Following the enactment of labor reform legislation by President Javier Milei, the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) has launched a legal appeal against the state to halt the enforcement of Articles 90 and 91, which involve transferring labor court jurisdiction from the capital to the local judiciary. This legal move indicates a strong opposition from labor unions against changes that could affect workers' rights and protections.

The legal complaint has been assigned to the contentious court number 7, overseen by Judge Enrique Lavié Pico, who previously rejected two appeals regarding the constitutionality of a controversial economic deregulation decree. The involvement of major labor leaders in signing the appeal underscores the serious concern among unions regarding the potential implications of the new labor laws.

This legal strategy deviates from the approach taken in response to previous regulations under the December 2023 decree, where unions opted for multiple upfront complaints in lower courts to challenge labor matters. The CGT’s current strategy indicates a more consolidated pushback against laws they perceive as detrimental to workers' rights, signaling ongoing tensions between labor groups and the government on employment regulations.
