The Argentine government announced salary increases for public sector employees and security forces through decrees 832/2026, 834/2026, and resolution 844/2026. The raises are phased in over several months, starting at 1.9% in September 2026 and decreasing to 1.5% by December 2026. Additionally, a one-time bonus of $80,000 was granted to eligible personnel. While the union UPCN accepted the proposal, ATE rejected it and called for a strike and mobilization at the Ministry of Defense over wages and job positions. The decree also includes adjustments for certain teaching roles within the national administration.
