This is obviously false. First, employers can't just stop giving raises. Raises are governed by law and by collective agreements (although they are often below inflation). Second, no one just quits, especially a crook. Why? Because you can always force the employer to fire you. How? In general, nothing too obvious, you just stop working too hard. Until your employer offers you to leave and is forced to make an arrangement and pay you compensation.

> Did I fire him? No. It is impossible to fire your employees, even for proven misconduct.

> Did I sue him? No. You lose 95% of these types of cases.

No, for example in IT they are connected to the "commerce union" but it doesn't include an agreement to adjust by inflation. Obviously IT has strong market forces in favor of the employee but this is an example.

Also many unions lost against inflation.

Most factory jobs do have those agreements though.

You mean minimal wage?

I don't know about Argentina specifically, but in many countries unions negotiate salary raise percentages for the whole sector. If the country follows universal collective bargaining, this may also be a binding minimum raise for non-unionized employees in the same sector, even in companies that aren't members of the trade union that bargained the deal.

Argentinian here, I confirm that it works exactly was you described, even the non-unionized part.
