Argentine labor and wage disputes

Overview

Labor disputes regarding wages and working conditions continue across various regions of Argentina. In Guaymallén, municipal employees represented by SOEM have threatened strikes following the administration's decision to eliminate the ‘Compensación y Estímulo’ bonus. In Valle Viejo, Catamarca, SOEM has rejected a salary proposal, describing a gradual increase of $2,000 as “totally insufficient.”

Educational sectors face widespread unrest. In Jujuy, educators are protesting academic closures, while in Buenos Aires, unions demand the restoration of the National Teacher Incentive Fund (FONID). In Entre Ríos, Agmer is demanding emergency funds for infrastructure, and in Córdoba, the UEPC is demanding wage recompositions that exceed inflation.

State unions have denounced a systematic scheme involving the under-execution and diversion of budget allocations. They allege that funds intended for specific purposes are being redirected into financial bonds, securities, and the National Treasury to maintain a fiscal surplus. This reportedly affects the aviation sector, where the ATE ANAC union warns that less than 10% of annual aviation fees go to the Rescue and Firefighting Service (SSEI), and the National Road Directorate, where FEPEVINA reports only 3 pesos out of every 100 collected from liquid fuel taxes are allocated to road works.

At Garrahan Hospital, workers used legal injunctions to reveal that 58.107 billion pesos of the budget had been placed in financial bonds and securities. Consequently, the ATE internal union has called for a protest on November 5 to demand more staff, basic supplies, and improved infrastructure, while denouncing alleged disciplinary persecution of delegates. The national government has rejected allegations of defunding, stating that salaries increased by over 80% in the last year.
