The Argentinean Customs Personnel Union (SUPARA), representing customs employees, has announced a series of strikes in response to measures implemented by the national government.

The strikes are scheduled for Thursday and Friday, 20 and 21 February, from 10:00 to 14:00 local time, and again on Thursday and Friday, 27 and 28 February, from 10:00 to 16:00.

Kuehne+Nagel expects delays to all import and export shipments at ports as a result of the strikes.

Customs workers have expressed their frustration over numerous measures that have undermined their salaries and affected their functions.

According to the union's press release, the government's "lack of satisfactory responses" has led to the decision to implement progressive measures until concrete solutions are achieved.
