The Argentine Confederation of Transport Workers, CATT announced Monday a boycott against all those “English vessels” that call in any port of the country to protest the UK “militaristic pretensions” in the Malvinas Islands and South Atlantic.
The Argentine government as was anticipated by organized labour woke on Monday to the first day of a week of conflicts over salary and work conditions, taking as the leading case for the struggle the Argentine post office and its distribution fleet.
All bridges with the government are not broken, said a representative from Argentina’s powerful organized labour adding he expected relations will improve since both union and business leaders “know how far they can go” when it comes to collective bargaining.
