Overview
- Major unions including SUTEBA, AMET, SADOP and UDOCBA voted to accept a 6% raise split as 3% on October pay and 3% on November pay, both calculated on September salaries.
- The province confirmed the same two-step increase will apply to state workers covered by Law 10.430 and that the first 3% should appear in early November payrolls.
- Negotiators also secured non-salary commitments such as a digital report card for primary and secondary levels, changes to the secondary academic regime, steps to finish a collective bargaining agreement, and expanded parental leave.
- The government justified the offer by pointing to falling revenue and reduced non-automatic transfers from the national government, which it says limit its fiscal room to grant larger raises.
- The accord reduces immediate strike risk but remains unsettled because the Federación de Educadores Bonaerenses will vote at its delegates' congress and some dissident groups have already called further stoppages.
