He Enthusiasm that it generated in the establishment The presentation of the official labor reform project to be discussed in the Senate shows a yellow light: danger The focus on attacking the union model ultimately leads to the cultural struggle taking precedence and not the implementation of necessary changes in the relationship between companies and employees.
The economist recorded this in a document Federico Pastrana which was published on Friday afternoon: “The ruling party’s labor modernization law brought with it much more than labor reform. The package of measures aims to build a “before and after” in libertarian management. The reform represents a ideologized view in contrast to pragmatism the salary anchor, the containment of the conflict through the current union model and the management of collective bargaining.”
Although Casa Rosada emphasizes this when searching limit the calculation basis for compensation It aims to end the so-called “testing industry” and also emphasizes that in addition to launching a program, it also aims to encourage employee registration Fund that reduces the costs of dismissal In companies, the frame of the debate could be twisted in the other direction.
From the senator’s hand Patricia BullrichWhen Hugo Moyano called her “the girl”, when Hugo Moyano called her “the girl”, the parliamentary process will place a particular focus on the “union model”, entirely in line with what another head of the regulations, the deregulation minister Federico Rumpfenegger, has always claimed.
At this point, the government’s work initiative includes the Definancing the union structure by cutting social contributions -in Article 161- and changes to the discount by receipt, which can now only be made with the consent of the employer (Article 128), with the individual consent of the employee and authorization of the Government (Article 137).
In addition, restrictions on the holding of meetings are established (Article 133), the right to strike is restricted by expanding the range of essential and transcendental activities that must have guaranteed benefits (Articles 98 and 99) and the role of delegates is also weakened (Articles 134 to 136).
“Aren’t these guys going overboard?”asked a businessman listening to Bullrich speak at the organization’s seminar on Thursday. Techint with its supplier and customer chain called ProPymes. “Labor reform is needed, but I don’t know anyone who was unhappy with the way furlough days or the delegate system worked,” he added.
But suddenly, The mood was one of celebration of the executive’s boldness rather than concern about opening up imports.as was the case at the Argentine Industrial Union conference a month ago.
In fact, the CEO of Argentina’s largest steel company, Paolo RoccaBullrich was greeted with applause, which was not the only moment of celebration. The tightening of the blockades was applauded, the measures against the delegates were celebrated and there was even applause when the senator said “And whoever wants to buy a boat should buy it.”to defend them Reducing taxes on these goods. There are also surveys on the image of the economy in society.
There are such things in the corporate world itself mixed feelings (Mixed feelings) with the government’s move. The anti-Peronist mood of a section of business people is sparked by some inflammatory speeches Advances in freedom and that’s why they celebrate when grandiose phrases are used against union leaders.
But at the same time there are a lot of them Witness growth that comes with a collective bargaining model what has enabled them to maintain this social peace without stopping, expanding and even making a great fortune. For this reason, there is not such a broad consensus that, although an update of the labor law framework from the 1970s is necessary, the way forward is to abolish a sectoral dialogue structure. Unless, as one suspects, Stützenegger thinks: The underlying problem is precisely how to disarm these institutions because they are the heart of the “Argentina Company”.
What if everything was now put at risk by a “mambo move” by the most ideological side of this government? EITHER Are these articles being included in order to finally have a basis for negotiations with the unions? Will it be a sample of one? “Let’s do everything” of capital owners who sense a lack of clear opposition in Peronism and a general discrediting of the union leaders, at a time when they represent even a smaller part of today’s working world, dominated by informality and platforms?
In addition, he points out the weaknesses of the government’s efforts and speaks of the “danger of frustration”: “Far from promoting a reform that improves the quality of employment, consolidates the status quo and threatens to increase inequalities; “It relies on mechanisms (such as reducing employers’ contributions or greater labor flexibility) that have proven ineffective in addressing the problems of the Argentine labor market and is very contradictory, which tips the balance in favor of employers.”
Although he applauded at his side, Rocca may not purchase the full combination. He explained at the seminar that it was a classic for medium-sized steel companies and that a completely different vision emerged in the 2001 crisis.
The “Rocca model”
He summarized in a three-minute and twenty-seven second video anything that moves in a country linked to gas production in PatagoniaHighlighting the role of small and medium-sized businesses across the country. In the video, Rocca himself can be seen touring production facilities wearing a helmet and the role of workers is highlighted.
Definitely from the middle of the business world this year-end “Rocca model” Contrary to what seems to be Javier Milei’s attempt to put his stamp on the Argentine economy through greater exploitation of natural resources and less manufacturingwith more advantages for companies and less emphasis on employee representation. Rocca, an industrialist with increasing energy, seems to be betting on a different idea, even if he understands it Labor reform is necessary to improve competitiveness.
The video, which circulated through chats from people who have nothing to do with business or industry, talks about “crane operators who take comrades with them on the routes”; of truck drivers “who need to rest”; of “engineers and workers in the field at 5 a.m.,” with a tacit claim to the role of work and even stands out “the community” to maintain productive processesBefore I conclude by saying that the search is “a country project”, an integrated country“.
