Overview
- The union executed a strike without attendance to workplaces, pressing for wages aligned with the basic basket and rejecting the provincial plan to pay only 2% now from a 4% offer.
- Participation spanned Health, Education, Human Development, Central Administration and municipalities across the province, according to organizers.
- A petition to the provincial executive seeks a 500,000‑peso year‑end payment, recategorizations and permanent posts for COVID‑hired and municipal day‑labor workers, with a preference to fold any bonus into base pay.
- Union leaders report roughly 10,000 recategorizations to date but cite uneven municipal implementation and lack of engagement in places such as Libertador.
- Media reports indicate the government could propose a smaller one‑time sum of about 300,000 pesos, no agreement has been confirmed, and uncertainty persists over contracts that expire in December.
