Martín Tetaz and Julio Piumato argued about labor reform, and Diego Sehinkman intervened to separate them.

During a heated televised debate, former national deputy Martín Tetaz and CGT Human Rights Secretary Julio Piumato engaged in a heated discussion about the government's proposed labor reform, which required the mediation of journalist Diego Sehinkman. The union leader accused the legislator of seeking to “take away rights” from workers, to which the economist retorted: “You want to keep the workers' money.” The intense debate took place on Monday night on the TN channel's program Una vuelta más, during a discussion on whether or not to establish essential jobs. Among the guests were Laura Rodríguez Machado, national deputy for LLA; former Labor Minister Jorge Triaca; and Tetaz himself, who agreed on the importance of, for example, the essential nature of education. “On the other side, ideologically, was Piumato, who claimed that workers would lose rights as a result.” At that point, Tetaz rebuked him: “You couldn't name a single right that would be taken away.” Ignoring the former Radical deputy's statement, Piumato argued: “It's a huge transfer of income.” “Yes, to the workers' pockets,” retorted the economist. After that, Tetaz brought up the so-called “solidarity quota,” the contribution made by employees who are not affiliated with the union for union activities and which, at the last minute, the government excluded from the bill. “With the law, it went into the worker's pocket, not the union's,” said the former national legislator. “Workers must be given a decent wage,” Piumato grumbled, adding: “You are clearly authoritarian because you don't care about violating the Constitution.” “You are taking part of the wage,” Tetaz questioned, continuing: “Where does it say in the Constitution that the union leader is the owner of the worker's labor?” “They want to make him a slave,” said the union leader. "If you are going to give them freedom and increase their wages, take the money from the union and give it to the workers. Who gets the contribution? If they deduct it from the union,“ Tetaz explained. It should be noted that the ”solidarity fee" is agreed upon through a collective bargaining agreement between the business chambers and the main union for the activity, and approved by the Ministry of Labor. The issue with this is that its collection is compulsory and does not require consent. This occurs mainly in the state sector, at all levels: national, provincial, and municipal, but also in the private sector. However, the confrontation did not end there. Instead, it escalated. "You want slavery in Argentina. You want prison. You don't care about the Constitution. You're a slave driver... you have rights for very few,“ Piumato lashed out at Tetaz, who did not hold back: ”You want to keep the workers' money. Article 14 bis says that the salary belongs to the worker. Don't steal it . Don't be disrespectful. I won't allow you to be disrespectful." It was at that moment that the program host, who was about to continue the interview with Triaca, stood up and approached the two, who were sitting face to face, to mediate the discussion. He first tried cordially and asked both to stop their attacks. However, he had to call for a commercial break to bring the situation under control. “I'm going to put a fence between you,” the journalist said at first, resorting to humor, and reproached them for the situation, which was no longer funny. He insisted that they stop: “Enough, Martín. Enough, Julio,” Sehinkman repeated several times until he called for a break: “I have a tranquilizer dart, you'll see the result after the commercial break.”
