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.

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.  Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionales IAEN 2021-07-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos evaluados por doble pares ciegos application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/225 10.37228/estado_comunes.v2.n13.2021.225 Estado & comunes; Vol. 2 No. 13 (2021): Government and Public Administration in Latin America and the Caribbean: postcovid-19 scenarios and challenges Estado & comunes; Vol. 2 Núm. 13 (2021): Gobierno y Administración Pública en América Latina y el Caribe: escenarios y desafíos poscovid-19 2477-9245 1390-8081 10.37228/estado_comunes.v2.n13.2021 spa https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/225/409 https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/225/410 https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/225/411 Derechos de autor 2021 Ianina Harari
