This report analyzes the evolution of salaries in the education sector in Mendoza in relation to inflation and the cost of living, highlighting the loss of purchasing power and the sector’s economic difficulties.
The Cornejo administration represented a period of setbacks for the working class, and the education sector was no exception. This administration imposed three salary increases by decree on education workers and only in its final year—under electoral influence—did it sign a collective bargaining agreement. An analysis of salary trends in relation to inflation shows that during the first three years, there was a continuous decline in the purchasing power of education workers.
