Teamsters bring Argentina to a stop and challenge fiscal policy and income tax
Argentina’s teamsters union headed by the powerful leader Hugo Moyano, a former ally of the government and currently one of her most aggressive adversaries, has declared a national strike on Monday which in practical terms means the country is in full campaign ahead of the mid term October election when President Cristina Fernandez will try by all means to retain control over Congress.

Jul 08th, 2013 - 09:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Of course, the Argentine government (who claim to be socialists) are screaming and foaming at the mouth, calling them traitors.
So from this we can see that the Argentine government aren't socialists, they are National Socialists (NAZI's), who will no doubt follow in Hitler's footsteps and abolish the unions.
It's just a matter of time now.
Wow! Who is calling the transport union the 'Teamsters'.

Sounds to me like somebody is quietly proposing the Hoffa-solution.

I think CFK is unlikely to be 'disappeared' in the same fashion. No doubt La Casa Rosada has a few hidden passages.
I think Argentina needs a referendum on its future. It should apply to become a BoT, not only will this reduce the risk of economic mismanagement it might boost the chance of unification with the Malvinas.

@2 You're not too good at this “language” business, are you. See, it's “teamsters” with a lower case “t”. As you should know, Latin and South Americans like to use the simpler American English. Not the use of the words “garbage” and “trucking”!

according to argie bloggers on other threads,
Jul 08th, 2013 - 06:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0there is no problem,
so why worry..
Moyano makes a valid point ! He urges workers to vote for 'a political solution' in October elections ! Personally think they should ditch the Peronism BS

Jul 09th, 2013 - 09:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm not sure if the Argentines could cope with no starvation, no fuel shortages, no strikes, a successful economy, and being defended by a country who's ships work-but if they were a BOT they would be run properly, be told not to argue and pick fights with everyone.
But although they wouldn't see this in a million years, they would be better as a BOT than having a succession of despotic wingeing useless governments running them into the ground.
As and you say their dream of unification with the Falklands (that none of them actually want to live on), would be realised.
