Definitive: 900,000 workers will stop getting paid this month

The Argentine government's 'Volver al Trabajo' program, which provided monthly payments to over 900,000 workers, has been discontinued after a court ruling in August. The decision revoked a previous injunction that had required the Ministry of Human Capital to maintain the program. This move affects individuals who relied on the financial support, particularly those in the informal economy. Labor unions, including the UTEP, strongly criticized the ruling, arguing it prioritizes bureaucratic interests over basic needs and could push families into poverty. The union has announced plans for protests, including demonstrations on August 7th under the slogan 'Peace, Bread, Land, Roof, and Work,' and potential mobilizations toward the Ministry of Economy. The court justified its decision by stating that maintaining payments through an injunction would prematurely decide the case and emphasized the government’s authority to modify or end public policies.
