Abstract

The context of pandemic and declaration of a health emergency in Argentina brought about a normative succession of executive decrees of necessity and urgency of the Presidency of the Republic, resolutions of the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security and other administrative regulations, with direct incidence on the individual working relationships and projections at the collective level. This exceptional situation, in a social and regulatory sense, is addressed in this study focused on the exercise of the right of strike in the aforementioned context, especially considering that the exceptional regulations have declared some activities and services as "essentials in the emergency" that exceed the framework of essential services listed in the law in order to limit the indicated right. The author tries to answer the question about the hypothetical assimilation or distinction between both qualifications of "essentiality".
