Overview
- CTERA and ATE confirmed coordinated 24‑hour strikes and mobilizations for Monday, Aug. 3, timed to the post‑winter restart of classes and a planned ATE march to the Ministry of Economy.
- The national government invoked Law No. 27.802 to classify education as an essential service and demanded a 75% minimum classroom coverage, warning that unions could face legal sanctions if the threshold is not met.
- Unions obtained a precautionary injunction from Juzgado N.º 74 that temporarily challenged the essential‑service designation, but the government has appealed leaving the duty to guarantee coverage in legal dispute.
- Multiple provincial and university unions have announced adhesion in jurisdictions including Buenos Aires, CABA, Chaco, Tucumán, Jujuy and Catamarca, making significant class disruption likely in those districts.
- CTERA and allied groups demand reopening the Paritaria Nacional Docente, salary recomposition and reinstatement of FONID, and the dispute could feed broader labor actions scheduled for Aug. 6–7 with wider social and operational impacts for families and public services.
