Argentina: 48-hour nationwide strike launched by university workers June 4-5
Unionized university workers plan to hold rally, launch 48-hour nationwide strike in Argentina, June 4-5. Disruptions possible.
Unionized university workers affiliated with several organizations, including the National Federation of University Professors (Federacion Nacional de Docentes Universitarios, CONADU), launched a 48-hour nationwide strike in Argentina on June 4. The protests follow failed negotiations with the national government, in which university workers demand higher salaries and larger investments in higher education.
The strike will likely cancel all classes and activities at public universities nationwide June 4-5. Additionally, activists intend to gather outside the National Congress in Buenos Aires, starting at 12:00 June 4. Protests in other cities are possible, especially near government buildings and on university campuses.
Disruptions are likely near protest actions and around major universities. Heightened security in government buildings is likely.
Avoid all protests as a precaution. Plan for delays and alternative routes if operating near potential protest areas.
