Buenos Aires Teachers Stage 24‑Hour Provincial Strike

Unions are demanding salary recomposition, school‑safety protocols and the return of national teaching funds to increase pressure on Governor Axel Kicillof's government.

Overview

  • The Frente de Unidad Docente Bonaerense—AMET, FEB, SUTEBA and UDOCBA—carried out a 24‑hour provincial strike on Tuesday that disrupted classes across Buenos Aires province.
  • Unions say their core demand is an immediate reopening of paritarias and a salary recomposition to recover lost purchasing power after recent negotiations produced no new wage offer.
  • The unions also called for concrete measures to curb rising violence in schools, including full implementation of the Parity Prevention Agreement, a complementary protocol and institutional training days.
  • They requested national action to reinstate the Fondo Nacional de Incentivo Docente (FONID) and warned about cuts to technical education and problems with IOMA and IPS services that affect teachers' livelihoods.
  • SADOP declined to join the stoppage, union leaders reported strong adhesion on the ground, and the strike marks a new source of tension with Governor Kicillof following a recent leadership change at SUTEBA that altered union‑government dynamics.
