The Single Union of Customs Personnel of the Argentine Republic (SUPARA) announced new strikes following unsuccessful salary negotiations with the customs authorities.

 

Despite attempts to negotiate, the authorities dismissed the union's proposal, which the unions argue is a barrier to resolving salary disputes.

 

The union resolved to resume the previously suspended strike measures, carrying out a work stoppage on 25 and 26 March from 10:00 to 16:00 local time.

 

Workers will remain at their workplaces during this period but turn off their assigned PCs.

 

As a result of the strike, regular container handling operations at the port will be disrupted.
