After finding out the inflation for March, which climbed to 7.7%, making the accumulated inflation for the first quarter total 21.7%, the unions that bring together the Buenos Aires state workers and teachers immediately went out to ask the Province to reopen the parity wages to rediscuss the agreement reached at the end of February.
It is that although the negotiation was closed at around 40% for the first seven months, the inflation of the first three months of 2023 took the 20% increase that was paid in March. And the other two disbursements, 6% in May and 14% in July, are far from price increases in food, beverages, clothing, transportation, education, fuel, transportation, and rentals, among others.
For this reason, at the express request of the unions to reopen the discussion, the government decided to call them for this week. In principle it was going to be on Tuesday, May 2, but then it was moved to Wednesday the 3rd, in the morning with the teachers and in the afternoon with the state officials.
It is important to point out that some unions requested to sit down at a table again to rediscuss the salary guideline, but also to advance the agreed payments to precisely deal with the fact that the inflationary process exceeded the first of the three installments in which it was decided to pay the salary improvement .
And just as March was 7.7%, the skyrocketing of the blue dollar in recent weeks is expected to have a direct impact on what will be inflation in April, added to the increases registered beyond the behavior of the US currency in the informal market and the so-called financial dollars.
