Milei pushes through a labor reform that Argentina resisted under previous right‑wing governments

23 February 2026 at 17:45

Argentine President Javier Milei promised to dismantle the pillars of the Argentina he inherited from Peronism — the populist movement founded by former president Juan Perón — and rebuild a new country from the ground up. One of these pillars, which withstood the onslaught of previous right-wing governments, is labor legislation, whose foundations date back to 1974. This week, the Senate is poised to pass a labor reform that modifies 200 articles of the Employment Contract Law, rendering it unrecognizable. Unlike the attempts made by former presidents Carlos Menem, Fernando de la Rúa, and Mauricio Macri, Milei faces weakened and discredited unions. Also working in his favor is a labor market that has already fragmented and shifted because of technological change and more than a decade of economic stagnation.
