Overview
- The federal ruling, issued Friday by Judge Macarena Marra Giménez, shifts the CGT’s lawsuit over Law 27.802 from the national Labor Court to the Federal Administrative Litigation court in Buenos Aires.
- The decision grants an inhibitoria requested by the Ministry of Human Capital under Article 79 of the reform, which directs cases against the national government to federal administrative judges and excludes the Labor Court.
- The Labor Court’s provisional injunction that froze about 82–83 articles of the law remains in effect for now as the forum change proceeds.
- The union challenges changes such as new severance formulas, a termination fund replacing traditional payouts, repeal of the telework law, more flexible hours with an hours bank, and limits on some collective labor protections.
- Next steps include transferring the file to the new forum or elevating it to the Federal Administrative Appeals Court if refused, with appeals expected and a path that could reach the Supreme Court.
