Teachers unions in Argentina announced a series of nationwide strikes Wednesday to protest against the decision taken by the government of President Mauricio Macri to not raise wages in line with inflation.
The Confederation of Education Workers of Argentina, known as Ctera, called for a 24-hour national strike in different provinces.
"We decided to call for a national strike as part of a national day of protest on August 24," said Sonia Alesso, general secretary of Ctera, during a press conference on Wednesday.
According to the statement published by Ctera, the organization voted for a national plan "in the absence of solutions to educational problems."
