On January 3, 2024, the National Labor Court of Appeals granted the precautionary measure filed by the General Confederation of Labor of the Argentine Republic (hereinafter “CGT”, after its Spanish acronym) seeking the suspension of the effectiveness of Executive Order No. 70/2023 whilst the resolution of the judicial authority’s claim of unconstitutionality against the Executive Order is pending.
Thus, the Labor Court of Appeals has ruled to suspend the applicability of the provisions of Title IV: “LABOR” of the Executive Order, in force as from December 29th, 2023, until the writ of protection on the grounds of unconstitutionality also filed by CGT is obtained, which seeks the declaration of unconstitutionality of the Executive Order in question.
It is worth noting that in the field of labor law, DNU No. 70/2023 introduced various reforms such as the extension of the probationary period, the elimination of labor fines in favor of the employee, the simplification of the labor relationship registration process, among others, whose effects are currently suspended.
