Axel Kicillof offered a 20% increase to state and teachers. The proposal was accepted by the public administration unions and is evaluated by the education unions.
It would be effective in February salaries that are paid in March. The increase for the almost 630 thousand state employees (includes administrative staff, police, health and education agents) costs an estimated amount of 50 billion pesos, according to calculations by budget experts. The atmosphere that was perceived in the meeting between the authorities and the leaders of the teaching profession was one of rapprochement.
