According to the UTA, the protest occurs after two months of hearings at the Labor Secretariat without a proposal for salary increases.

This action also includes similar procedures carried out by the education and railway sectors, in which participants denounced the Government’s refusal to update payments in a context marked by adjustment and high inflation.

They also condemned eliminating funds for those sectors, especially in the provinces.

Last week, members of the Construction Workers’ Union (UOCRA) in Buenos Aires gathered outside the Secretariat to denounce thousands of layoffs due to the interruption of public works by the Government of Javier Milei.
