Mendoza public sector labor and salary disputes

Overview

The Mendoza provincial government has engaged in various labor and salary disputes across different public sectors.

In the health sector, the government proposed a voluntary labor regime for workers under ‘Régimen 15’, including nurses and administrative staff. The initiative aims to modernize human resource management and improve salaries for specialized areas. However, the Association of State Workers (ATE Mendoza) criticized the proposal, with union leader Roberto Macho describing it as a “deceptive” and “disguised labor reform” designed to bypass collective bargaining.

In the judicial sector, the government rejected a retroactive salary claim from judicial officials regarding a 2013 agreement known as ‘Clause C’. Following a Supreme Court ruling that such adjustments must be handled through collective bargaining, the provincial Executive closed the administrative route for the claim. Additionally, after failed negotiations with the judicial union, Governor Alfredo Cornejo issued Decree 1969, establishing two salary increments for judicial employees in September and November 2026 to maintain consistency with other public administration sectors.
