The Trade Union Front of National Universities also announced a week of struggle starting on October 21 to demand a new joint union. The 2025 Budget also appears as a new point of conflict.
After the ratification in Deputies of President Javier Milei’s veto, the Union Front of National Universitieswhich brings together all the teaching and non-teaching unions in the country, called this Thursday to a new national strike for October 17 and a week of fighting starting on the 21st of this month.
“The Trade Union Front has resolved the deepening of the fight plan with a horizon of dispute with the national government that has deprived us of the tool of the University Financing Law,” they stated in a statement.
The salary claim continues to be one of the central axes of the claim for the discussion of the 2025 Budget. Until now the national government has been giving increases unilaterally, without reaching any agreement with the unions. For this reason, they demand in the statement “a parity that recognizes the specificity of university workers and offers a solution to the serious salary situation.”

Budget 2025: governors stand up after supporting the university veto
The governors They made their contribution to shield the veto of Javier Milei to the educational financing law but now they stand before the Budget 2025. On this occasion, La Libertad Avanza must add 129 votes to approve the initiative presented by the president in Congress, a figure impossible to achieve without the support of the provincial leaders. It is no longer enough just with the PRO of Mauricio Macri.
Support for the veto on universities was the governors’ last show of faith. The three votes together with La Libertad Avanza from the people of Tucuman who respond to Osvaldo Jaldoa vote from José Luis Garrido (Santa Cruz), four absences of deputies from Catamarca, Chubut, Córdoba and Salta, in addition to the abstentions of four legislators from Misiones, were the key to shielding the veto.
