An Argentine court has overturned labor rules proposed by President Javier Milei, which aimed to make it easier for employers to fire workers. This decision deals a blow to Milei's efforts to reform regulations that he believes have been holding back the country's struggling economy.
The appeals court had previously issued a temporary suspension of the new regulations in early January, following a legal challenge brought by the General Labor Confederation, the main union group in Argentina. On Tuesday, a three-judge panel declared the regulations unconstitutional, arguing Milei's government had exceeded its authority by implementing the rules without congressional approval.
