Overview
- The Association of State Workers (ATE) called a national 24‑hour stoppage for November 19 with a mobilization to the national Labor Secretariat in Buenos Aires starting at noon to oppose the government’s labor reform and demand immediate reopening of paritarias.
- University federations FATUN and CONADU Histórica are joining, halting non‑teaching and teaching activities for the day and warning of a further one‑week strike from December 1 to 6 if demands over the University Financing Law and pay are not met.
- Local ATE branches and allied groups announced adherence and city‑level actions, including ATE Rosario’s marches, ATE Mendoza’s rally and petition drive, and campus closures at the National University of Rosario.
- Other sectors aligned with the protest include the oilseed workers’ federation, judicial employees in San Luis, and provincial teachers such as Suteba in Bahía Blanca, signaling a broad multisector mobilization.
- One day earlier, the Buenos Aires provincial government reopened salary talks with ATE, UPCN and FEGEPPBA, as national tensions sharpened with Security Minister Patricia Bullrich filing a criminal complaint against ATE leader Rodolfo Aguiar.
