Argentina: budget, wage strikes and pension reform debate

Entities: Union of University Health Professionals (Siprus) · Union Docentes Argentinos (UDA) · Government of Entre Ríos Province · Cámara de Diputados de Entre Ríos · Asociación de Maestros de Educación (Amsafé)

Overview

The July 2026 decree of necessity and urgency expanded the national budget by about 409 billion pesos, funding ANSES pension transfers, higher university salaries, the Manuel Belgrano scholarship and a 49‑billion‑peso boost for the State Intelligence Secretariat while keeping the projected fiscal surplus unchanged. In Santa Fe, the semi‑annual wage‑negotiation cycle intensified. A July 24 proposal offered teachers up to a 15 % increase for the second half of 2026 and an average annual rise of roughly 49 %. The teachers’ assembly AMSAFE rejected the offer on July 24, citing a loss of purchasing power of over 30 % and the absence of automatic inflation indexing; the union called for protests from July 30 through August and demanded a 35 % recovery of lost wages. The health sector split: the Association of Argentine Medical Doctors (AMRA) accepted the staggered raises, while the Union of University Health Professionals (Siprus) voted 76 % for a strike. A wave of labor actions spread nationwide in late July. The Union of Public Workers of Corrientes (UPCN) declared an “active strike” for July 29, transport workers suspended bus services indefinitely, and the Union of Civil Personnel of Chaco rejected a 10 % raise as illegal. Teachers’ unions in Jujuy, Buenos Aires, Formosa and Río Negro announced 48‑ to 72‑hour stoppages against provincial offers ranging from 4 % to 7 %. In Entre Ríos, the teachers’ union SADOP sent an open letter to the provincial lower house urging a halt to a pension‑reform bill that would introduce a solidarity contribution starting at 19 %, add a 3 % personal contribution, and change pension calculations, which the union says would lower replacement rates.
