The strike by the Urgara grain inspectors union that prevented the loading of ships at the main Rosario export hub today is scheduled to end at midnight. But additional strikes are expected. “The strike will last all day and will continue throughout the week with more strikes,” the Argentine Maritime, Port and Shipbuilding Federation (FeMPINRA) said in a press release. Planned strikes will halt operations at the Buenos Aires and Dock Sud ports and the Zarate-Campana corridor on Wednesday, and shutter the Rio Santiago shipyard on Friday, the group added. It also said other impromptu union actions would occur.
A trade union source told Reuters if they don’t receive an official response for a reduction in income taxes, the conflicts will escalate.
