The union representing workers at the General Directorate of Customs called for further strikes on 29 and 30 April this month.

The strikes will impact customs officials nationwide from 07:00 to 19:00 local time.

Kuehne+Nagel expects an impact on regular operations at terminal ports, particularly regarding the release and delivery of containers.

As in previous strikes, officers will be present at their respective workplaces during strike hours but will not perform any work duties.

Additionally, the strikes coincide with the Labour Day holiday on 1 and 2 May, which could further add to the operational delays.

Nationwide strikes have impacted ports in Argentina for several months since the beginning of the year.

The latest labour action was carried out on 10, 15, and 16 April, and there are no signs of a potential agreement in the near future.
