Room VIII of the National Chamber of Labor Appeals resolved, on Thursday, April 23, 2026, to grant suspensive effect to the appeal presented by the National State against the precautionary measure that kept more than 80 articles of the Labor Modernization Law No. 27,802 suspended.

The decision has a direct and immediate consequence: Law 27,802 is once again fully applied throughout the country while the process is being carried out before the Chamber and possible higher authorities.

Context: where this dispute comes from

After the enactment of Law 27,802, the CGT challenged several of its aspects before the courts - compensation, vacations, contracting modalities, working hours and union representation - and obtained, in the first instance before the National Court ofWork No. 63, a precautionary measure that suspended 83 articles of the norm.

The National State appealed that resolution and requested that the appeal have a suspensive effect, that is, that the precautionary measure cease to apply during the processing of the appeal. The Chamber granted that request, based on article 13, paragraph 3, of Law 26,854, which establishes that when a precautionary measure suspends a law, the appeal must be granted in that capacity, except in exceptional cases that the court considered not applicable in this case.

Immediate effects for companies

In practical terms, the employer can adopt all the measures that Law 27,802 authorizes and those decisions will be legally valid. However, if the reform were to become ineffective in the future, only acts with a final judgment (res judicata) would maintain their validity.
