State Workers Threaten National Action Over ANAC Staffing Overhaul

Stalled talks with the civil aviation authority have prompted ATE to call for nationwide direct action.

Overview

  • ATE alleges ANAC dismissed highly qualified inspectors in late June to install 20 libertarian militants as advisers earning up to 4 million pesos each.
  • The union warns that dozens of ANAC vehicles are out of service due to maintenance neglect and that its air-traffic control training center is seriously compromised.
  • ANAC responds that it removed 75 underperforming political appointees this year and hired 24 specialized technicians after international validation to safeguard operational standards.
  • Rodolfo Aguiar says ATE will convene its decision-making bodies within days to plan nationwide direct action measures.
  • On July 30, Judge Martina Forns ordered a six-month suspension of Decree 462/2025, blocking regulatory changes at the National Industrial Technology Institute (INTI).
