Overview
- - A multi‑union front of ATE, Sutepa, Appamia and UTI coordinated task stoppages and street protests across Argentina, including Buenos Aires, Mar del Plata and Tucumán.
- - Union leaders say employees have gone 11–12 months without a meaningful raise, with the last real adjustment in late 2024.
- - The latest proposal—reported by unions as 1.2% in October, 0.8% in November and 0.8% in December—is being criticized as derisory and insufficient.
- - Some representatives are seeking about 40% to begin restoring purchasing power, citing steep increases in basic costs such as food and rent.
- - Leaders warn of escalated measures next week if no progress is made and link prolonged underpay to strains on services like medicines and diaper deliveries.
