Overview
- The improved offer grants 3% for January plus a December retroactive and proportional aguinaldo, producing a 4.5% take‑home impact for January to be paid with February salaries.
- Major state unions UPCN, FEGEPPBA and ATE accepted, and four of the five unions in the FUDB teacher front approved the proposal.
- The FEB rejected the increase as insufficient and will consult its membership, noting an estimated ARS 37,475 more for a novice classroom teacher and ARS 27,631 for a preceptor in February.
- Provincial officials committed to reopen the wage talks in early February, with several reports pointing to the first week of the month.
- Talks were held virtually with economic, labor, education and social security authorities participating, and the government framed the offer within a constrained fiscal outlook tied to lower revenues and reduced national transfers.
