Argentina: Unionized education workers call for strike, demonstrations nationwide Sept. 5 to demand funding increases

Unionized higher education workers affiliated with the National Federation of University Instructors (Federacion Nacional de Docentes Universiatrios, CONADU) have planned a nationwide day of strikes and protests for Sept. 5 to demand funding increases. The main demonstration is scheduled in front of the National Congress building. The exact time of the work stoppages and protests is unclear. Related gatherings will likely be well-attended. Other potential gathering sites include university campuses and government buildings nationwide.

Heightened security, localized transit and business disruptions, and disruptions to university activities are probable near protests. Disruptions to university activities are likely Sept. 5.
