The Asociación de Trabajadores del Estado (ATE) in the National Administration of Civil Aviation announced a 48-hour strike at all airports in Argentina for this Thursday and Friday. [^1]

The strike is a response to the lack of agreement on salary increases and the reduction of state operational funding. [^2]

Aguiar accused the government of non-compliance with wage agreements since January and of underfunding operational and inspection areas at all airports. [^3]

ATE claims that salaries in the National Administration of Civil Aviation (ANAC) are absolutely deteriorated and do not correspond to the high responsibilities exercised in the sector. [^4]

Rodolfo Aguiar, general secretary of ATE National, stated that if delays or cancellations occur, they will not be the workers' fault because the union communicated the measure in advance for the government to respond. [^5]

The strike will occur in two three-hour shifts, causing delays to commercial flights while medical and official flights will continue normally. [^6]

The union communicated the strike to the Ministry of Labor, Employment, and Social Security to allow the sector to make provisions. [^7]
