University Front begins 48-hour strike in Argentina

Buenos Aires, Mar 17 (Prensa Latina) The National Universities Union Front (FSUN) of Argentina will begin a 48-hour strike and confirmed its participation on Wednesday in a march in defense of retirees.

In a statement, the FSUN explained that the strike will take place in response to the policies implemented by the Government of Javier Milei and was called as part of a plan of struggle against the loss of workers’ salaries and the structural defunding of the centers of higher studies, facts that have a devastating impact on the sector.

In addition, he denounced that in January only a 1,5% salary increase was approved and in February a 1,2% increase, which is considered insufficient.

The Government not only intensifies the salary crisis of teachers and non-teachers, but also ignores the negotiations as a space for discussion in which differences are settled, conflicts are channeled and agreements on salary and working conditions are generated, the text indicates.

According to the statement, the lack of funding is a serious problem that the educational community and society in general are facing.
