Overview
- The federal administrative judge Macarena Marra Giménez, who ruled Friday, lifted the CGT’s injunction and reactivated 81 provisions of Law 27.802.
- She said the labor judge who froze the law lacked jurisdiction and that blocking 81 articles on a preliminary basis would misuse a precautionary measure, noting laws carry a presumption of validity and the case shows no urgent harm.
- The case now proceeds in the Federal Administrative Litigation Court under an accelerated schedule, and the judge rejected the CGT’s attempt to recuse her as not allowed in this fast-track process.
- The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the government’s per saltum request to take the case now, so the constitutional questions will be decided first in lower courts and could reach the high court later.
- With the articles back in effect, employers and unions must follow the reinstated rules on collective bargaining, strikes, union representation, contracts, work hours, leave, and severance, which the CGT argues conflict with constitutional labor protections.
