The scheme of increase is similar to that proposed by Maria Eugenia Vidal to state employees and has been accepted by the unions. "I regret that the teachers' representatives did not accept this offer, along with the rest of the public service employees," said the governor at a press conference held Wednesday after -midday.

Vidal added, "We will not give up the dialogue and we will meet again in December, and we were responsible for only proposing what we can afford," he said. And he said that it was also arranged the advance payment means aguinaldo (in the first half of December).

According to information provided by the Education Front Group (consisting of FEB, Suteba, Sadop, Uda, Amet and Udocba), the joint proposal means an increase of $ 108 for the basic diploma of one teacher and $ 205 a month from the system. The 2018 parity would end with an annual increase of 32%, when inflation estimated for the whole year at 45% would be "minimal", say the unions.

Until this year there were 28 days without clbades by protest measures and the negotiation with the education sector enters the register of the extension: at the beginning of December, there is no agreement between the parts.

The incorporation of an additional 7,000 pesos for the last month of 2018 will then reach nearly 580,000 agents of the public administration. It includes system teachers and employees of government departments and official dependencies. This is an even bigger contribution than that suggested by the national government for paying private sector workers, which was settled three weeks ago by the Ministry of Production and Labor.

"We take care of the people of Buenos Aires throughout the year, I must recognize the work of the teams of the economy and the entire government," said the governor. For Buenos Aires, the coffers represent an additional expense of more than 4,000 million pesos.

In the case of retirees from the Social Security Institute (IPS), the bonus will be 3,500 pesos. In this pension system, there are nearly 200,000 commitments with an average of 22,000 pesos.
