The question arrived by email two weeks ago from a distributor in Mar del Plata. The owner had five administrative employees under the Commerce CBA and one traveling salesman who traveled the Atlantic coast looking for wholesale clients. The accountant had told him that the traveling salesman "is entitled to something else," but neither of them fully understood why. The short answer is: because the traveling salesman is governed by a professional statute, not a collective bargaining agreement. And that changes everything. Here I explain the difference between CBA and professional statute in Argentina, straight to the point, with the laws you need to know and the cases where things get complicated.
