ADEMYS called for a teachers’ strike in support of the university mobilization

Two days after the mobilization on Tuesday, April 23, in rejection of the measures of the government of Javier Milei that led to a critical economic situation for public universities, the Teachers’ Association of the City of Buenos Aires (ADEMYS) called for a teachers’ strike in support of the university march. Raising the defense of public education, which is going through a tense and critical budgetary situation in the face of the cuts that the government determined in the first months of Milei’s administration, teachers, students and university directors will leave from the corner of Rodríguez Peña and Rivadavia at 3:30 p.m. to the Plaza de Mayo. The general secretary of ADEMYS, Mariana Scayola, who is a member of the Workers’ Left Front (FIT) urged teachers to “mobilize massively together with universities and families.” Along these lines, he said: “We are calling on teachers as a whole to be part of this historic march in defense of Public Education. We’re going to stop Milei’s hand.” Then, he called on the members of the union to protest “against Milei’s chainsaw, the IMF, the Employers’ Associations and the new omnibus law,” and warned that “it includes the declaration of the essential service and the labor reform promoted by the UCR, against the right to strike.” Regarding the massive call for Tuesday, the general secretary of ADEMYS urged the CTERA, the CTA and the CGT to “be part of this mobilization and call for a national strike.”
