Overview
- The five employer chambers notified Transport Secretary Luis Pierrini and Labor Secretary Julio Cordero and filed a plan with the Labor Ministry.
- November wages would be paid in two installments, and the December half‑year bonus (SAC) would be spread over six payments under an “exceptional and transitory” scheme.
- Employers argue cash flows remain insufficient despite a 9.7% fare hike on national‑jurisdiction lines that set the minimum ticket at ARS 494.75.
- AAETA says fare adjustments are offset against subsidies, while its Índice Bondi estimates an unsubsidized minimum fare of ARS 1,713.60 and reports a one‑third revenue loss over a decade.
- The chambers warn the plan could prompt a conflict with the UTA union, creating a risk of strikes and service disruption in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.
