Overview
- ATE’s 24-hour strike, which began Tuesday, includes the aviation regulator ANAC and has brought protests to airports with assembly-led delays.
- In Buenos Aires, workers plan to gather at 11 near Costa Salguero and march to Aeroparque, with union leaders saying to expect delays rather than mass cancellations.
- The action targets ANAC ground controllers and inspectors whose safety checks and permits can hold up departures even when air traffic control remains staffed.
- Only minimum hospital guards are guaranteed during the stoppage, and services such as migration controls, transport regulation, waste collection and other state offices face slowdowns.
- ATE demands immediate reopening of pay talks and salary recovery and warns it may harden tactics, including blocking airport access, after the legally mandated conciliation period expired.
