UTA Threatens Friday Bus Work Stoppage Over Unpaid November Wages

The government authorized a 15% subsidy increase for AMBA services to ease the payroll dispute.

Overview

  • Union spokesman Mario Calegari said drivers will abstain from tasks from the early hours of December 5 if full salaries are not credited by midnight.
  • Transport business associations told workers November pay would be split into two installments, a plan the union rejects.
  • The administration framed the standoff as an internal employer–union matter and said it is not responsible for private payrolls.
  • Service was already halted on La Plata lines 275, 307 and 506, and additional routes across AMBA and in La Plata, Berisso and Ensenada could be affected depending on last‑minute payments.
  • The subsidy decision, formalized under Resolution 86/2025 with an updated cost matrix for November and December, comes as operators warn of insufficient revenues and rising costs.
