President Mauricio Macri of Argentina has announced a labor amnesty for the nearly one third of Argentinian laborers who are working informally, allowing them to register as employees with no negative employment repercussions. The Argentine president has had a term full of doubt regarding his campaign promises to boost economic growth in the country and hopefully attract foreign investors. Macri’s government has had run-ins with union leaders in the past when Macri’s proposal of making the firing of employees easier for corporations was met with organized labor’s outrage. Due to controversy regarding Macri’s presidency, it would appear that the government is now taking a “piecemeal” approach to introducing legislative change, achieving a medium ground between their preferred gradualism and their attempts at drastic and fast-paced labor law change.
