Argentina: National truck drivers' strike confirmed for June 14

Event

The Argentine truck drivers' union has announced a national 24-hour strike on Thursday, June 14 to demand higher wages. A broad array of services will be affected as drivers of garbage trucks, bank clearing vehicles, and food and oil delivery trucks will participate in the strike. Though the secretary general of the trucker's union has assured that striking truckers will not block roads, isolated roadblocks remain a possibility and could result in road transportation disruptions. In the case of any roadblocks, clashes between striking workers and security forces cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Individuals in Argentina are advised to monitor the situation, strictly avoid all protests and roadblocks due to the risk of violence, and plan for relevant service disruptions.
