The head of the Chamber of Metallurgical and Components Industries of Córdoba (CIMCC) confirmed the sector's support for the comprehensive modernization bill. Gustavo del Boca formalized this institutional position before the parliamentary committees in charge of debating labor regulations in Congress. The Córdoba business entity believes that this regulatory framework is essential to achieve a competitive insertion of national production in the world.
To support its contributions, the business trade organization launched a specialized Center for Metallurgical Production Studies. This technical space is responsible for precisely identifying those operational obstacles that limit the growth of industries in the province. "We are convinced that the actors in the private sector have to participate actively in the reform process," stated the executive.
The position of Córdoba's metallurgical sector is based on the reduction of production costs without this implying a loss of rights for the staff. The aim is also to maintain the quality of union representation while eliminating legal distortions that encourage the labor lawsuit industry. Among the general recommendations, the organization included the need to avoid the accumulation of pending vacation days according to current international guidelines.
Los metalúrgicos de Córdoba aportaron 5 puntualizaciones técnicas para la reforma laboral
Technical suggestions to strengthen the industry
One of the 5 technical points calls for reforming Article 40 of Law 24.557 to establish a scientific committee that determines disabilities. This measure is intended to unify objective medical criteria that prevent arbitrary interpretations and reduce levels of industrial litigation. The organization also requested an amendment to Article 33 so that performance-based payments are not considered regular compensation even if they are frequently repeated.
CIMCC proposed guaranteeing that the renewal of machinery or technologies in process areas is not legally interpreted as constructive dismissal. This clarification is vital so that local SMEs can modernize their industrial plants without facing legal risks in the event of technical changes. Meanwhile, they requested that the authorities correct the excessive financial burdens that fall on the employer when staff who are close to retirement have a disability.
Finally, the industrialists of Córdoba urged that preventive crisis procedures be streamlined in order to respond quickly to a drop in demand. The documentation delivered to the legislators contains the wording suggested by the chamber to be incorporated into the final text of the reform bill. "If our proposal were not taken into consideration, we will continue working to support it and to deepen it," concluded the industry representative.
