Argentina's state and municipal workers stage wage protests

State employees from the Association of Workers of the State (ATE) gathered at the Supervisión de Escuelas building in Comodoro Rivadavia, demanding a salary increase. Police intervened with tear‑gas canisters and special forces, leading to several arrests. Protesters said, "El descontrol es por parte del personal policial. Nosotros queríamos entregar un petitorio... Hay una persona descompensada adentro, estamos haciendo lugar para que pueda llegar la ambulancia."

Municipal workers in Tigre, represented by the Asociación de Trabajadores Municipales de Tigre (ATRAMUTI), announced a state of alert and mobilization, calling on the city mayor for an urgent wage revision, the opening of collective bargaining, and full payment of the annual bonus without deductions. Union leader Héctor Paz warned, "¿Cuánto más pretenden que esperemos el incremento de nuestros sueldos?" and emphasized, "El salario de los trabajadores es sagrado y no puede esperar más."
