Overview
- The provincial government presented a non‑cumulative 11% pay proposal for the second semester, split as 7% payable in August and 4% in November and calculated on the June 2026 basic salary.
- The offer includes reported extraordinary payments for school supplies and clothing — presented as three installments of about $330,000 per teacher post and $300,000 per celador post — plus sector‑specific details on how those sums would be disbursed.
- SUTE began a consultation of teachers and celadores in schools and will give a formal response by July 1, with the union warning that a rejection could lead to industrial measures after the winter recess.
- Negotiations also cover non‑wage demands the union sought, including reviews of school safety protocols, changes to medical leave rules, a technical table on hierarchical posts and specific measures for celadores.
- The government prioritized SUTE negotiations after the union and other public‑sector groups rejected an earlier 8% offer, so the union’s July decision could shape the timing and terms of settlements for other Mendoza unions.
