Argentina: Unionized subway workers to strike in Buenos Aires June 19

Members of the Association of Subway and Premetro Workers (Asociacion Gremial de Trabajadores del Subte y Premetro, AGTSyP) plan to hold two-hour strikes in the Buenos Aires Subway System on June 19. The measure is in response to a sanction against a union leader by company executives. Labor leaders have planned the following specific work stoppages:

• Lines B and E, and the Premetro: Strike between 17:00-19:00

• Lines D and H: Strike between 19:00-21:00

• Lines A and C: Strike between 21:00 and closing time (around 23:30)

Increased demand for alternative means of transport is likely during the walkouts. Disruptions could begin impacting subway services before the strikes begin.
