Overview

• Faculty and non-teaching staff completed another 48-hour stoppage this week and have scheduled the next one for September 1–2, which would bring the tally to 25 lost days.
• The national government outlined a 7.5% increase to be applied between September and November, including 3.95% in the August paycheck, plus a one-time 25,000-peso bonus per position proportional to workload.
• CONADU and allied unions argue the package is not a real pay rise and continue to demand immediate recomposition and the formal convening of wage talks.
• The Senate-approved University Financing Law mandates budget updates and salary recomposition, and press reports say President Javier Milei is expected to veto it, a prospect unions warn could trigger further actions.
• Impact varies by campus, with strong adherence in many units and near-normal activity in others, while UNL’s five pre-university schools report significant disruption affecting about 2,080 students.
