CTERA Sets Oct. 14 National Teachers’ Strike as Santa Fe Vows Schools Will Stay Open

The walkout seeks to force the federal government back to the bargaining table over funding and wages.

Overview

  • The 24-hour strike is planned for Tuesday with widespread school stoppages and a mobilization outside the Human Capital Ministry in Buenos Aires.
  • Key provincial unions including the Buenos Aires teachers’ front confirmed adherence, and university federations signaled partial participation.
  • Santa Fe authorities said schools will operate, ordered sworn declarations from staff, and warned of salary deductions and loss of the perfect-attendance bonus for those who stop work.
  • Amsafé confirmed it will join the stoppage, while Jujuy unions Cedems and Adep called a coordinated strike and street protest, and Adiunju backed the university action.
  • Tensions escalated after Santa Fe minister Fabián Bastia blamed the strike on Roberto Baradel, a characterization CTERA leader Sonia Alesso publicly rejected.
