Government puts damper on the festive celebrations of around 7,000 state workers with decree confirming their dismissal.


Argentina’s government has put a serious damper on the festive celebrations of around 7,000 state workers after publishing a decree that orders the cessation of their employment.

Carrying the signatures of President Javier Milei and Cabinet Chief Nicolás Posse, the publication of Decree 84/2023 in the Official Gazette on Tuesday morning (December 26) confirms the dismissal of public employees who joined the civil service from January 1, 2023 onwards and are not considered essential.

In most cases, expiring contracts will not be renewed. The decree applies to those in positions without seniority within the government and decentralised state bodies, affecting non-permanent temporary employees "and any other type of contract that ends on December 31, 2023."

The decree also establishes new rules for the hiring of personnel. In addition, the executive branch vows in its decree to review the employment situation of state workers who have been in office since before that date.
