Bullrich urges businesses to form company unions at AmCham 2026

Senator Patricia Bullrich, head of La Libertad Avanza bloc in the Senate, spoke at the AmCham Summit 2026 hosted by the US Chamber of Commerce in Argentina. She urged business leaders to form company-specific unions to enact labor modernization. She highlighted ongoing congressional laws ensuring private investment and political stability.

Patricia Bullrich joined Senator Eduardo Vischi from the UCR on a panel at the AmCham Summit 2026. She acknowledged his support for legislative initiatives and stressed that the Modernización Laboral and Glaciares laws expand the country's productivity.

"Now you have to turn the laws into reality. Labor modernization is in the hands of businesses. Form company unions, dare to do it," Bullrich stated. She encouraged hiring workers with 70% discounts and establishing a Labor Assistance Fund, along with fiscal innocence to invest dollars amid stability.

Bullrich noted the labor reform brings changes and investment incentives, achieving what prior republican governments attempted. She previewed the Private Property Guarantee Law to curb usurpations and the Glaciares Law amendment, which broadens productive land for mining, horticulture, and tourism without harming water basins.

She criticized tax disparities: "There cannot be provinces with much higher taxes than others." She advocated cooperative federalism with fiscal harmonization across national, provincial, and municipal levels to reduce country costs. She closed by thanking supporters of the Executive and the UCR.
