The recent legislative reform made in Argentina intends to promote stable employment and collective contracts. In the latter issue it aims not only to overcome the present virtual bargaining paralysis, but also to break with the traditional model characterized by intense centralization. In these terms, it deals with an ambitious and double novelty. The policy of temporary employment promotion encouraged in the 90's is abandoned in individual contracts, but the challenge in the collective field even greater, because one of the typical issues of the Argentine system of labour relations is being questioned.
