Overview
- ATE led a nationwide stoppage with a noon march to the Secretariat of Labor, and the union claimed participation above 90% across the country.
- The Security Ministry filed a criminal complaint against ATE chief Rodolfo Aguiar for alleged threats to constitutional order, and Patricia Bullrich warned federal forces would act against violence under the antipicket protocol.
- Officials confirmed a one-day pay deduction for public employees who joined the strike, which Aguiar rejected as unlawful given the constitutional right to strike.
- Public services operated on reduced capacity, with only minimum hospital guards, curtailed attention in the national administration, suspended university activities, and limited emergency-only coverage at agencies such as ANAC, SENASA, CNRT, PAMI and ANSES.
- Union leaders linked the reform to a recent U.S. agreement and signaled possible escalations if talks do not begin, while no formal negotiation has been announced.
