"In the month of August, the Ministry of Education of the Nation university teachers will provide 5.8 percent advance to future increases, which could be agreed in the Salary negotiation table that is carried out with this sector", the portfolio executed by Alejandro Finocchiaro in a press release.
Van Onderwijs assured that this redistribution of the salary of 10.8% "is equal to" the inflation between March and June . "Despite the announcements of unemployment, the national government took the decision with the aim of maintaining the purchasing power of salaries, since with this increase and the increase granted in May, the inflation of the four-month period March-June was matched",
However, when the ministry's statement is compared with the inflation figures of the Indec, it is determined that the price increase between March and June is 11.22% (above 10.8%), with which the loss of purchasing power with this offer is only 0.37% if the inflation is taken into account between the third and sixth month of the year .
