A client with a restaurant business put it to me bluntly a few weeks ago: "I hear 'labor reform' on the radio every day. Does any of that apply to me yet, or is it all just talk?". The short answer is that part of it has been in effect since 2024 and another part remains a proposal. The problem is that everything gets mixed up in between, and no one distinguishes what is law from what is debate. Here, I separate the two: what really changed with the Bases Law, what was halted from DNU 70/2023, and what is being discussed for this 2026.
