Construction workers in Argentina are seeing wage adjustments following agreements reached between the Argentine Construction Workers' Union (UOCRA) and employer federations. The latest increment, effective in August, saw a 1.9% rise applied to basic salaries and non-remunerative payments.

These increases are part of a broader parity agreement covering June, July, and August, impacting all categories under the Collective Bargaining Agreement CCT N° 76/75. The agreement also included a one-time non-remunerative bonus in June and a review in July.

Basic hourly wages have been set according to different geographical zones across Argentina. The agreement, signed on May 19, establishes a validity period extending to August 31, 2026. A special commission has been formed to monitor economic factors and the construction sector's socio-economic impact, with the mandate to define adjustments starting from September 2026.
