In May 2026, the Argentine construction industry reached a collective agreement between the Union Obrera de la Construcción de la República Argentina (UOCRA), the Argentine Construction Chamber (Camarco), and the Argentine Federation of Construction Entities (FAEC). This agreement outlines incremental salary increases for basic wages and non-salary payments for June, July, and August. The deal applies to all categories under the Collective Labor Agreement No. 76/75. It includes an extraordinary non-salary bonus for June and a review in July. Basic hourly wages were set for different regions, including Zone A (Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Santa Fe, etc.), Zone B (La Pampa, Neuquén, Río Negro, Chubut), and Zone C (Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego). Non-salary payments for these zones were also specified, with extra payments split evenly across two halves of the month. The agreement remains valid until August 31, 2026, with a special commission planned for July 20 to monitor economic factors affecting the construction sector and determine adjustments starting September 2026.
