Overview
- UTA and bus companies signed a pay deal on January 30 that prevents a strike in the Buenos Aires metro area, keeping bus service running.
- The agreement grants a 4% total raise in three tranches through March, adds fixed non‑remunerative sums and higher viatics, and lifts the April basic salary to about ARS 1.574 million.
- Officials said the government will provide the funds required for the bus pact and announced audits and broader talks on subsidy and fare structures.
- ATE announced a national airport strike for Monday, February 2, warning of disruptions at more than 27 airports over delayed wages and a rolled‑back increase, with exceptions for state, medical, humanitarian and organ‑transfer flights.
- Rail union La Fraternidad signaled a nationwide train stoppage for Thursday unless offers improve, with a Monday meeting set to shape the outcome; separate freight‑line deals were reached earlier in the week.
