Tucumán
Toy stores, children's clothing shops, sports stores and gift shops will remain open without interruption on Friday and Saturday. The Chamber expects the date to contribute between 8% and 10% of sales, although the mid-year statutory bonus and Día del Padre failed to reverse the previous decline.

The municipal administration defended disciplinary proceedings over prolonged absences and said it would not reinstate the employees. SOEMC argues that two dismissed workers were union delegates with statutory protection. With conciliation exhausted, the dispute may move to industrial action and judicial review.
