Buenos Aires Province Reaches Wage Deal With Most Teacher and State Unions After Improved Offer

Provincial officials say falling revenue and cuts to national transfers are squeezing the budget.

Overview

  • The revised package adds 1% for December plus a retroactive 0.5% tied to the semiannual bonus, which the province says yields a 4.5% pocket increase in February versus the last salary.
  • Most unions in the Frente de Unidad Docente Bonaerense approved the proposal, while the Federation of Educators Bonaerenses will submit it to a membership vote.
  • Talks were revived on Friday after unions rejected an initial 1.5% offer earlier in the week.
  • The province accused the national government of illegal reductions in non-automatic transfers and cited an accumulated shortfall of $12.9 trillion pesos.
  • The agreement includes a commitment to reopen negotiations in February to continue the wage discussion.
