The Committee notes the Government’s replies to the previous observations of the Confederation of Workers of Argentina (CTA Autonomous), the General Confederation of Labour of the Argentine Republic (CGT RA) and the Federation of Energy Workers of the Argentine Republic (FeTERA).

The Committee welcomes the establishment of the Social Dialogue Commission and refers in that regard to its observation on the application of the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87).

The Committee also notes the observations of the Industrial Confederation of Argentina (UIA), received on 30 August 2019. The Committee also notes the observations of the CGT RA and the CTA Autonomous, both received on 3 September 2019. The Committee notes that the latter observations include allegations of violations of the Convention in law and practice, and particularly restrictions on collective bargaining (with reference, for example, to section 3 of Decree No. 508/18, which allegedly imposes a ceiling on wage adjustments for the voluntary simplified scheme in relation to collective bargaining). The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in this regard and invites it to address any pending issues in the context of the Social Dialogue Commission.

The Committee also takes due note of the detailed information provided by the Government on the situation with regard to collective bargaining in the country (in this respect, the Committee refers to its observation on the application of the Collective Bargaining Convention, 1981 (No. 154)). The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the number of collective agreements that have been concluded and that are in force, the sectors covered and the number of workers covered by the agreements, as well as on any further measures adopted to promote the full development and utilization of collective bargaining, in accordance with the Convention.
