AMBA Bus Stoppage Extends Into Fourth Day as 11 Lines Halt Service Over Unpaid Wages

Drivers say only half their November pay was deposited, triggering a stoppage that will lift once arrears are settled.

Overview

  • At least 11 routes — 159, 219, 300, 333, 372, 383, 407, 437, 603, 619 and 707 — remained out of service on December 9, according to delegates.
  • MOQSA kept key southern lines offline, including 159, 219, 300, 372, 619, 584 and 603, disrupting travel in Quilmes, Berazategui and Florencio Varela.
  • In the north, MOGSM’s Line 707 recorded a third consecutive day without service after partial and staggered wage deposits.
  • Sector employers informed the national government of a plan to split November salaries into two payments and pay the December bonus in six installments, citing a lack of funds.
  • The UTA demanded immediate full payment of wages, and workers signaled service will remain suspended until salaries are fully credited.
