Buenos Aires subway labor disputes

Overview

Labor tensions in the Buenos Aires subway system escalated through October 2026. Initially, the Asociación Gremial de Trabajadores del Subterráneo y Premetro (AGTSyP) announced a strike on Line A for October 6, protesting what they termed “indebted and illegal” wage deductions by the operator, Emova. Emova contested the claims, stating the deductions were based on attendance records for approximately 20 workers.

By late October, the conflict shifted to Line B, where protesters lifted turnstiles to demonstrate against service suspensions. In response, the administration of Jorge Macri detained top leaders of the subway delegates' union. The government justified the crackdown by citing the designation of subway service as an essential service, a move linked to broader labor reforms.
