Argentina: Rail workers to stage a 24-hour nationwide strike Feb. 21 to demand salary increases

Unionized rail workers, affiliated with La Fraternidad Union, plan to hold a nationwide 24-hour strike in Argentina on Feb. 21 due to a collapse in negotiations over salary increases and improved working conditions. The strike will halt both passenger and cargo trains nationwide between 00:01 and 23:59 on Feb. 21.

Significant disruptions in rail services nationwide are likely. Small protests outside major rail stations are possible.
