ATE suspends airport strike in Argentina pending government talks
The Asociación de Trabajadores del Estado (ATE), representing workers from the Administración Nacional de Aviación Civil (ANAC), has temporarily suspended a planned 48-hour strike affecting more than 27 airports across Argentina. The labor action, originally scheduled for Thursday and Friday, was intended to protest salary deterioration, unpaid bonuses, and a lack of funding for operational areas such as the Firefighting and Rescue Service (SSEI).
The Argentine government, through the Ministry of Capital Human, has formally demanded that ATE guarantee at least 75 percent of services during any industrial action, citing Law No. 25.877 which classifies commercial aeronautics as an essential service. The union has requested an urgent hearing with the Ministry of Labor to define the specific parameters of these essential service requirements.
While the strike was postponed as a gesture of goodwill, ATE has indicated it may resume measures starting Monday, September 7, if negotiations fail. During the proposed strike windows (9:00 to 12:00 and 18:00 to 21:00), the union had stated only sanitary, humanitarian, organ transplant, and official flights would be guaranteed.
