Public sector workers in Spain and Argentina launch protests

Public sector workers in Spain and university unions in Argentina are initiating various protest actions. In Spain, the CSIF union has launched a series of mobilizations across multiple sectors, including education, health, and postal services. A major focus is the state-owned postal service, Correos, where workers are protesting staff shortages, precarious part-time contracts, and the loss of approximately 22,000 jobs over the last decade. Additionally, Spanish public employees are seeking the recovery of salary cuts imposed in 2010 through a legal challenge before the Constitutional Court.

In Argentina, the national university union front has called for a national strike on September 8. The protesters are demanding improved salaries and increased funding, alleging that the government is failing to comply with the University Financing Law. The movement includes plans for public classes and a federal march scheduled for October to defend public education and combat the loss of purchasing power due to inflation.
