Argentina: Bus workers to stage 24-hour strike in Cordoba Province Dec. 1

Bus workers in Cordoba Province affiliated with the Automotive Transport Industry Workers Association (Asociacion Obrera de la Industria del Transporte Automotor, AOITA) have announced plans to stage a 24-hour strike on Dec. 1 to demand better working conditions and a salary increase. The measure will likely lead to cancellations and delays to intercity bus services in the province.

Related protests are possible, though none have been confirmed as yet. Demonstrations could result in localized disruptions, and skirmishes cannot be ruled out. The walkout will likely result in increased traffic congestion and higher demand for alternative means of transport.
