In the context of the political, economic and social moment we are going through, with reform proposals in the labor field, the trade union aspect has acquired vital relevance. In the opening speech of the sessions given by the President of the Nation, Javier Milei raised the need for a reform so that the unions have elections every 4 years, with the possibility of reelection in the mandate only once as a way to democratize the unions and avoid that the general secretaries remain in their positions indefinitely as it happens today, this leads to a distance from the real needs of the employees they represent.
This measure, which is necessary and has been raised at different times in our country, is presented as a good opportunity to rethink the Argentine trade union model, where the focus should not only be on the election of authorities but also on the review of collective bargaining agreements, which, although they have been modified over time in some aspects, most of its articles date back to 1975.
