This was stated by the Buenos Aires Government in the context of the force measure promoted for tomorrow by the CGT.
The City of Buenos Aires will discount the day for teachers who join the May 9 strike
In advance of what will be the national strike this Thursday, motivated by the CGT, the City of Buenos Aires announced in the last few hours that Buenos Aires teachers who join the force measure will have a discount on their salary .
“Likewise, the proportion of presenteeism will be discounted ,” they emphasized from the City. At the same time, they added that "in the event that the teacher cannot get to school due to the transportation strike , the directors can justify the absence as a cause of force majeure, and the day will not be deducted."
In this regard, Jorge Macri had expressed in public statements this week that " unionism is a branch of Peronism and they are only interested in power , they are not the representatives of the workers."
In relation to the debate on joint agreements, they stressed that "the representatives of the 17 teaching unions were convened in the months of January, February, March and April by the Ministry and joint agreements were agreed upon in all meetings ."

In addition, they detailed that "the City guaranteed this instance of dialogue and made an effort not only to be able to give the increases it did, but also to pay the FONID with its own resources."
On the other hand, it was also officially emphasized that “the net salary of a graduate teacher without seniority will become $1,018,112 for a full-time job in April .” While the salary for teachers with the maximum seniority will be $1,357,917 ″.
Likewise, they pointed out that "the value of the teaching hour for Secondary Level in April will be $26,270 for teachers without seniority and $36,713 for those with maximum seniority."
On the opposite side of this decision, the main teaching unions, such as Suteba, Ceterea or Sadop , announced in recent days that they will join the force measure, which is why there will be no classes in most schools .
This is expected to have a greater impact on public schools, because some privately managed educational establishments have already announced that they will open their doors and adapt classes based on the number of teachers who show up.

The slogans to join the general strike are:
- Rejection of the elimination of the Teacher Incentive Fund (FONID).
- Defense of national funds for the Social Security Institute (IPS).
- Defense of all items for Education.
- No to income tax on salary.
- Respect for the labor rights of workers.
The decision of the national government
In the same sense, the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, announced this Wednesday that they will deduct the day from state officials who adhere to the measure of force. In any case, he clarified that the discount will only be applied to those who do not attend due to unemployment and not to those who cannot reach their workplaces due to the lack of public transportation.In this regard, the official highlighted that “ it is a strike that has no apparent reason .” We remember that line 134 is still open to report extortion. State employees who stop work will have their wages for the day deducted. “Whoever does not go to work and does not carry out his activity does not get paid .”
Furthermore, Adorni reported: “Since December 10, our Government had two general strikes , two by buses, two by teachers, one by trains, one by aeronautical workers and more than 100 marches and attempted pickets. While in four years, the government of Alberto Fernández, which ended with 211% inflation, 50% poor and 130 thousand deaths (from COVID-19) under the motto 'The State takes care of you', had 0 strikes."
