Argentina’s University Unions Set Two Week-Long Strikes, Plan National March

The actions seek enforcement of the University Financing Law in response to deep real wage erosion.

Overview

  • CONADU confirmed national week-long stoppages for the weeks starting March 30 and April 27, with unions indicating the current strike continues through March 30 in parts of the system.
  • At the National University of La Plata, Adulp ratified two weeks of walkouts aligned with those dates, while the local nodocente union Atulp will hold 24-hour strikes one day each week.
  • Union demands center on applying Law 27.759, expanding university budgets, updating scholarships, ensuring free collective bargaining, and recovering lost purchasing power.
  • Federations scheduled a Marcha Federal Universitaria for April 23 and will deploy a federal tent campaign to elevate the funding and salary claims.
  • The AGD‑UBA reported pay at 35.6% below November 2023 in real terms and signaled support for stronger measures, citing cumulative losses and rejecting recent government offers as insufficient.
