Overview
- Negotiations ended without agreement after a paritaria meeting that presented a two‑tranche 6% bimonthly package made up of 3% for September and a ratified 3% for October.
- Union federations carried out a coordinated 24‑hour national strike on Wednesday with federations reporting very high adherence, often above 95 percent.
- Unions base their demand on Law 27.795 and a judicial precautionary injunction tied to salary and scholarship articles, which they say requires a roughly 30–31.2% recomposition to December 2023 levels.
- The government framed its proposal as an ongoing budgetary negotiation and set a follow‑up paritaria for September 17 while unions will hold a Bariloche plenario on September 3 to decide whether to escalate measures.
- The walkout risks disrupting classes, exams and university services and adds pressure on university budgets and court timelines as both sides frame the dispute in legal and fiscal terms.
