Argentine judicial rulings on labor and misconduct

Overview

Argentine judicial developments have recently addressed labor exploitation and the professional conduct of judicial officials.

A civil court ruled against an elderly care residence, ordering it to pay over 11 million pesos to a former geriatric assistant. The court determined the employee faced exploitative conditions, including 60-hour work weeks that exceeded the legal 44-hour limit, without overtime pay. The ruling was supported by witness testimony and the facility’s failure to provide mandatory employment logs.

In Entre Ríos, the Superior Tribunal of Justice upheld the removal of former labor judge Eduardo Elías Flores. Flores had been dismissed by an impeachment jury in June 2023 following allegations of a “systematic pattern of psychological workplace violence against staff.” The Tribunal rejected Flores’s appeal, which had challenged the dismissal on the grounds of due process violations.
