University labor unrest and social security updates in AR

Overview

Labor tensions in Argentina’s university sector have intensified following the collapse of negotiations with the Ministry of Human Capital. Unions representing teaching and non-teaching staff, including ADUBA, APUBA, CONADU, FEDUN, and UDA, have unanimously rejected a proposed 3% increase for September and October, demanding a 32.5% to 39% wage recomposition to recover lost purchasing power.

The dispute is further complicated by the 2027 Budget, with the National Interuniversity Council (CIN) claiming current allocations are “33% lower than the $11 trillion required” to sustain the system. In response, the Frente Sindical de Universidades Nacionales has announced a series of strikes, including a 23-day staggered strike from September 21 through October 22. University unions have also confirmed a ‘Federal March’ scheduled for October 15 across major national capitals.

This mobilization follows a judicial ruling by Federal Judge Martín Cormick, who ordered the national government to update university funds within a five-day deadline. The judge has warned of daily fines if the administration fails to provide necessary funds for salaries and scholarships, though the government has indicated it will appeal the decision.

As the conflict escalates, CONADU and CONADU Histórica have initiated a 72-hour national strike beginning Wednesday, September 30, and lasting through Friday, October 2. This action specifically demands the full implementation of the University Financing Law (Ley 27.795) and a 33.4% salary increase. The strike impacts national universities, research institutions, university hospitals, and pre-university schools, such as Manuel Belgrano and Monserrat. Beyond salary disputes, educators are protesting budget constraints affecting research and student scholarship programs.
