Argentina’s State Workers Stage 24-Hour Strike Over Milei’s Labor Plan

The Milei administration is responding with a criminal complaint against ATE’s leader, alongside confirmed pay deductions for strikers.

Overview

  • ATE called a nationwide stoppage with a noon rally at the Labor Secretariat in Buenos Aires and a central act at 1 p.m. local time.
  • The union reports more than 90% adherence across the country as it also demands the immediate reopening of wage negotiations.
  • Public administration offices and non-teaching university services face closures and delays, while transport, banks and supermarkets largely operate as usual.
  • The Security Ministry filed a criminal complaint against ATE chief Rodolfo Aguiar for alleged threats to the constitutional order, submitted by Fernando Soto on instruction from Patricia Bullrich.
  • Officials say the day will be docked for those who strike, and Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni maintains the labor bill would not alter the public employment law.
