Argentina’s Public Universities Call 72-Hour Strike for Nov. 12–14 Over Funding Law

Unions demand enforcement of a financing law the government suspended after promulgation.

Overview

  • The walkout was called by CONADU and CONADU Histórica and is backed by Fagdut, AGD–UBA, ADUM, COAD and other campus unions.
  • Faculty are pressing for immediate application of the University Financing Law and a reopening of national collective bargaining for salary recomposition.
  • The Milei administration promulgated the law on Oct. 21 but halted its application pending funding sources, triggering court challenges from university rectors.
  • Organizers plan legal filings and further actions into 2026, and they say end‑of‑year exam sessions will proceed; non‑teaching staff at Mar del Plata’s UNMdP will strike every Monday.
  • Fagdut will stop activities at UTN’s 30 regional faculties during the three days, while similar university strikes in Peru have turned indefinite at UNP and UNSA over pay and budgets.
