Overview
- A national labor court granted the teachers’ union UDA a precautionary order that suspends Article 101, which labeled education an essential service and required 75% staffing during strikes, with nationwide effect.
- Judge José Ignacio Ramonet’s decision is provisional and preserves teachers’ right to strike while the case moves forward.
- The ruling comes after Judge Raúl Horacio Ojeda paused about 82 provisions of the law in a separate case, saying the measures appeared to violate core protections in labor law.
- The Milei government is preparing to appeal the suspensions, with the Treasury Solicitor’s Office weighing filings in labor or administrative courts.
- Other courts have also frozen new limits on the carryover of collective bargaining terms and on union contributions, leaving workers and employers to navigate uncertain and shifting rules.
