In Jujuy, teachers’ unions continue to strike demanding higher salaries and an end to Governor Gerardo Morales’ proposed constitutional reform, after his announcement that he would repeal a controversial decree that activists said would criminalize protest. He added that he would not negotiate with teaching unions regarding their salaries while they were on strike. Unions are calling for wage rounds to be opened that take into account all the state unions’ demands. Activists and unions also believe Morales’s proposed reform to Jujuy province’s constitution presents similar risks to the repealed decree. While the decree has been overturned, there is still widespread opposition to Morales’s proposed constitutional reform.
