The Single Union of Customs Personnel of the Argentine Republic (SUPARA) announced further strikes this week after salary negotiations with customs authorities failed.

 

This round of strikes will take place on 3 and 4 April, from 09:00 until 17:00 in the AMBA region and from 08:00 to 16:00 in the rest of the country,

 

Workers will be present at their workplaces but will initiate an "IT Blackout," switching off workstations.

 

The union notes that customs operations related to international passenger tourism and humanitarian and/or public health are exempt from these strike actions.

 

Kuehne+Nagel expects delays to the release and delivery of containers at container terminals.

 

Furthermore, the CGT Union has announced a nationwide 24-hour strike on Thursday, 10 April 2025.

 

According to local news, the strike will affect several economic activities.

 

Services, including train, truck, and some port operations, will not be available. Consequently, delays in container handling at the ports and in container delivery and pickup can be expected.
