On March 30, 2026, National Labor Court of First Instance No. 63, presided over by Judge Raul Horacio Ojeda, issued an innovative preliminary injunction in the case: “General Confederation of Labor of the Argentine Republic v. the National Government, regarding a declaratory action” (Case No. CNT 10308/2026), thereby provisionally suspending the application of various articles of the Labor Modernization Act No. 27,802.
The ruling itself establishes that the measure adopted applies to all workers and employers in the Argentine Republic whose relationship is governed by Law 20,744 (Labor Contract Law) and its complementary laws, and registers the case in the Supreme Court of Justice’s Public Registry of Class Actions.
This is a ruling of particular significance, as it temporarily suspends a substantial part of the labor reform, maintaining the previous regime in effect until the substantive issue regarding the constitutionality of the law is resolved.
In practical terms, the ruling means that, for the time being, several of the changes introduced by the reform cannot be applied, both in the context of individual and collective labor relations.
