Argentina teacher strikes and provincial participation

Overview

In Entre Ríos, the AGMER union has rejected the provincial government’s salary recomposition proposal, which offered increases of 3.5 percent in September, 1.5 percent in November, and 2 percent in December. Union leadership described the economic situation for teachers as “desperate,” noting that many educators live below the poverty line. To press their demands, the union deployed an “Escuela Itinerante Entrerriana” to travel through all 17 departments of the province to highlight issues such as salary recovery, infrastructure, and budget cuts. Following the rejection of the government's offer during an extraordinary congress, AGMER leadership has been authorized to continue its plan of struggle. Recent discussions have also expanded to address the service levels of the Obra Social de Entre Ríos (OSER). Union leaders continue to warn that current income levels lead to increased debt and excessive workloads. In a plenary meeting of general secretaries in Villaguay, AGMER leaders addressed critical issues regarding teacher salaries and OSER service levels. Leader Abel Antivero reported a “profound process of impoverishment” among educators, noting that many face debt and multiple jobs to survive. The union criticized the government's adjustment policies, claiming teachers have experienced a 45% loss in purchasing power relative to the basic food basket. Tensions also emerged regarding the “Escuela Itinerante” initiative. In Rosario del Tala, the union expressed frustration after educational authorities prohibited students from participating in a scheduled mental health workshop, a decision the union argued ignored the urgent needs of adolescents. In Buenos Aires province, the government has reached a salary agreement with the majority of state workers under Law 10.430. The deal includes a 6% increase split into two installments of 3% for October and November, based on September salary levels.
