Overview

  • The Ministry of Capital Humano has held firm on a 7.5% salary adjustment for August to November alongside one-off $25,000 payments per position.
  • CONADU dismissed the announcement as a “lie” that mirrors an existing UPCN deal, ratifying its national strike through Friday over unmet paritaria demands.
  • The National University Rectors’ Council issued a statement rejecting the increase as insufficient, noting it offers no real solution to funding shortfalls or wage erosion.
  • Detailed breakdowns reveal the 7.5% rise comprises small monthly increments totaling 1.3% to 1.1%, making the bonus the only new element in the package.
  • The conflict intensifies ahead of a Senate vote on a University Financing Law intended to restore collective bargaining, guarantee dedicated funds; unions plan further mobilizations if it stalls.
