Argentina continues to face widespread labor unrest and fiscal tension. While the industrial sector saw progress with the Unión Obrera Metalúrgica (UOM) reaching agreements, other sectors remain in conflict. In the higher education sector, the crisis has intensified. Following a failed judicial conciliation hearing led by Judge Cormick, university workers—including teaching and non-teaching staff—launched a 48-hour national strike on August 27 and 28. Organized by federations such as CONADU, CONADU Histórica, and FATUN, the strike addressed salary deficits estimated between 31% and 34% and demanded the full implementation of the University Financing Law (Law 27.795).

By early September, the conflict escalated. Following a 24-hour national strike on September 2, unions rejected a 3% salary increase offer from the Ministry of Human Capital, arguing it fails to address a 31.2% loss in purchasing power. On September 8, a national strike was carried out to protest current salary levels and demand the full implementation of the University Financing Law. Educators have announced a schedule of continued actions, including public classes on September 15 and a mobilization to the Secretariat of Education at Palacio Pizzurno on September 17, leading toward a fifth Federal University March in early October.

Broader educational conflict is emerging as teachers across various provinces demand salary renegotiations. In Buenos Aires, the Frente de Unidad Docente Bonaerense (FUDB) has requested the reopening of collective bargaining, arguing a 7% cumulative increase is insufficient. This tension is exacerbated by a shift in financing under the Javier Milei administration; national investment in education and culture reportedly dropped from 1.41% of GDP in 2023 to 0.86% in 2024, leaving provinces to cover nearly 80% of consolidated educational spending.
