description | This article analyzes labour measures, conflict situations, and workers’ demands that resulted from COVID related quarantine restrictions in Argentina. The measures included exempted activities, regulation of teleworking and temporary work, dismissals, suspensions and policies intended for those who were unemployed or could not resume work. With this aim, this article reviewed articles from national newspapers, content from provincial news websites, union and political web portals, and regulations issued by the Argentine Ministry of Labor. This article concludes that measures that aimed to prevent the increase in unemployment did not stop layoffs nor suspensions. On the contrary, a reduction in the nominal salary took place and real salary numbers dropped due to the postponement of key negotiations. |

En este artículo se analizan las medidas laborales, conflictividad y demandas obreras que se suscitaron en Argentina frente a la declaratoria de cuarentena generada por el covid-19. Entre las medidas se encontraron las actividades exceptuadas, regulación del teletrabajo y trabajo eventual, disposiciones sobre despidos y suspensiones y aquellas destinadas a quienes quedaron desocupados o no podían trabajar. Para ello, este artículo recurrió a artículos noticiosos de los periódicos nacionales, portales web de noticias provinciales, portales web políticos gremiales y a la normativa emitida por el Ministerio del Trabajo argentino. El artículo concluye que la regulación y las medidas tendientes a evitar el aumento de la desocupación no lograron frenar los despidos ni las suspensiones. A su vez, se habilitó una reducción del salario nominal que se suma a la caída del salario real por la postergación de las negociaciones paritarias.
