Argentina’s University Faculty Launch 72-Hour National Strike as Exams Proceed in Córdoba

Unions use the stoppage to press for salary relief, paritarias, the financing law’s execution and a bigger 2026 budget.

Overview

  • The walkout, called by Conadu for November 12–14, includes participation from Adulp in La Plata and Adiuc in Córdoba.
  • Adiuc cites a 45% pay demand alongside calls to implement the University Financing Law, open collective bargaining and expand 2026 funding.
  • Rectors estimate universities need about 7.3 trillion pesos next year compared with the government’s 4.8 trillion proposal.
  • After debate, Conadu decided not to suspend exam sessions at the National University of Córdoba, though unions plan actions at exam tables.
  • Campuses will largely stay open because non-teaching staff are not joining the strike, and unions warn they may delay the 2026 academic start and pursue legal action over stalled paritarias.
