Overview
- The national wave of university action began Wednesday with overlapping measures that include a week‑long teacher strike by Conadu Histórica, four 24‑hour no‑attendance stoppages by FATUN and a 96‑hour FAGDUT walkout that affects UTN campuses.
- Unions say their demands are enforcement of the University Financing Law, payment of accumulated salary arrears, salary recomposition and explicit budget lines for universities in the 2027 spending plan.
- The measures will halt classes at many institutions, including all 30 regional faculties of UTN, and union leaders warn the consolidated calendar will push total days of stoppage above 40 and disrupt academic schedules.
- Tactics combine coordinated national stoppages on specific dates (including Nov. 3, 12 and 16) with planned visibility actions, legal steps to secure pay components, and union congresses that may decide further escalation.
- A parallel education protest is set in Peru where SUTEP has ratified a 24‑hour national strike on Oct. 29 and has warned it could broaden to an indefinite stoppage if the government does not meet key budget and pension demands.
