Only trade union organizations can decide on strike action or on ‘other workplace measures’. Thus the ruling in June 2016 by Argentina’s Supreme Court ending the ambiguity that has surrounded legislation in the country for several years.
The Supreme Court clarified this legal framework as part of the ‘Orellano’ case where an employee at the country’s postal service (Correo Oficial de la Republica Argentina) was made redundant for having organized and participated in ‘workplace measures’ without the employees’ representatives unions’ prior agreement. “In presenting its reasons for the redundancy measure the business indicated that over the course of two weeks these workplace measures entailed several meetings that were held at work during regular working hours and seriously impacted the normal working process,” reported the Legal Information Center.
