MARTINEZ FERNANDEZ, María Alejandra. SME’s APYME organization in times of labor market flexibilization. Trab. soc. [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.357-375. ISSN 1514-6871.

This paper addresses the position taken by the SMEs organization Asamblea de Pequeños y Medianos Empresarios (APYME) on employment policies tending towardslabor market flexibilization during Menem´s and De la Rua´s Governments in Argentina. We will focus on the main provisions of public laws 24.467 of 1995, 25.013 of 1998, and 25.250 of 2000 and how APYME has assessed them taking into account that some of the legitimizing arguments government put forward to introduce changes into labor laws was the need to modernize labor relations and promote SMEs’ competitiveness.

Keywords : Flexibilization; Small and medium sized business; Entrepreneurs union; Labor laws.
