Overview
- The national strike launched Tuesday and runs through August 18–22 with adherence that varies by university, faculty and cátedra, producing uneven class suspensions and campus mobilizations.
- Unions led by CONADU Histórica and groups such as AGD‑UBA demand full implementation of Law 27.795 and a salary recomposition they calculate at about 28.5–31.2 percent plus retroactive pay.
- The Ministry’s Subsecretaría de Políticas Universitarias says it has made transfers and is honoring the June 10 acta paritaria with listed resolution amounts, a claim that unions say does not cover all owed items.
- The dispute includes a legal front: a cautelar ordering parts of the law was upheld through appeals and returned to Judge Martín Cormick, who called a conciliation hearing for August 21 that could trigger enforcement measures.
- Federations have already scheduled further stoppages for August 27–28 and are running protests, banderazos and symbolic actions after 300 days since the law’s sanction, raising the risk of prolonged disruption to teaching, research and student services.
