As the economic policies of Argentine President Javier Milei keep taking their toll on ordinary citizens, state workers represented by the ATE (Asociación de Trabajadores del Estado) labor union will stage a 36-hour stoppage on Oct. 29 and 30 to seek a course change. We can't stand this government any longer, ATE Secretary-General Rodolfo Aguiar said Tuesday. We have to deepen the plan of struggle, he added after a federal plenary with delegates from all over the country.
The prolongation of a workers' strike in the ports of Argentina may disrupt wheat millers' operations in Brazil, especially if the labor action is not called off before the end of the year, industry representatives were quoted in the Brazilian media.
