A top labor court annulled six articles included in the labor reform section of President Javier Milei’s economic deregulation mega-decree of necessity and urgency, known as DNU, on Thursday. The labor chapter of the president’s sweeping mega-decree is currently suspended thanks to a temporary stay, but this ruling means that unless Congress green-lights the decree, those six articles are permanently nixed. Milei announced the controversial mega-decree on December 21, 10 days asfter his inauguration, and it went into effect on December 29. So far, the judiciary has only advanced favorably on a writ filed by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT by its Spanish initials) which led to the labor reform freeze. Last week, the writ was sent to the Supreme Court for a final decision.
