As the end of the year approaches, unions in Buenos Aires are growing impatient because they have not yet received the call Wage parity. The thing is that in the last session the province made the new increase and the payment of the bonus conditional on the legislature voting for Axel Kicillof in the budget and in the debt assumption guarantee that finally arrived last week.
Yesterday it was the teachers who demanded that they be involved in negotiations about a salary increase, and in the last hours the state teachers warned: they demanded that the bonus be paid “in a timely manner”.
This is the Union of Civilian Personnel of the Nation (UPCN), which has published a short statement on its social networks, but which contains a strong message that puts its members on alert. He reported that “the Secretary General Fabiola Mosquera has communicated with the authorities of the provincial government so that, given the difficult economic situation in which all workers find themselves, every possible effort is made to ensure the payment of the half bonus for December in a timely manner.” But he also added: “The state government was asked to ensure the continuity of the joint consultation in the month of December.”
Buenos Aires parity: the teaching requirement
In this context, as eldia.com reported yesterday, the Buenos Aires Teaching Unity Front (FUDB) has asked the provincial Ministry of Labor to urgently convene the Technical Salary Commission to give continuity to teacher parity in 2025. The request, it said in a statement, “responds to the urgent need of all teachers in Buenos Aires to receive a salary increase before the end of the current year, with the clear aim of combating inflation and regaining the purchasing power of the sector.”
Likewise, the FUDB added that it “calls for a timely meeting with the new Director General of Culture and Education, Ms. Flavia Terigi, to share a work agenda that includes issues that still need to be addressed as well as those necessary for resumption in early 2026.”
In this way, orders explode after the adoption of the financing law that allows Axel Kicillof to take on debts equivalent to $3,680 million, although the implementation of this operation requires the approval of the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo.
According to reports, government and teacher salaries rose 25.9% in the first ten months of this year, while inflation was 24.8% over the same period.
