Argentina: Unionized university workers plan nationwide strike and protests April 10-11 to demand higher pay increases

Unionized education workers affiliated with the National Federation of University Teachers (Federacion Nacional de Docentes Universitarios, CONADU) plan to hold a nationwide strike and protests April 10-11. The action is to demand higher salary increases than the government's current offer. Demonstrations will probably occur near universities and government buildings. Dozens to several hundred people may participate in gatherings, with larger turnouts likely in major urban centers.

Disruptions to activities at universities are likely over the coming days. Authorities will probably deploy to monitor protests. Localized transport and business disruptions are likely near gathering sites.
