Unionized subway workers to strike on all lines in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 13:00-16:00 July 26. Public transport disruptions likely.
Event
Members of the Association of Subway and Premetro Workers (Asociacion Gremial de Trabajadores del Subte y Premetro, AGTSyP) plan to strike 13:00-16:00 July 26. The labor action will affect all lines of the Buenos Aires Subway and the city's PreMetro (tram) system. The purpose of the action is to demand a shorter work week.
Increased demand for alternative means of transport is likely during the work stoppage. Disruptions could begin impacting subway services before the strike begins and extend for several hours after it ends.
