Argentina: Unionized transport workers to strike in Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area June 25

Unionized transportation workers affiliated with La Fraternidad (The Fraternity) Union plan to strike for 24 hours on June 25 in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area to demand higher salaries. The protest action will likely cause significant disruptions in rail services in the region. During the action, trains will run at a maximum speed of 30 km (19 miles) per hour, causing significant delays to the Sarmiento, Roca, Mitre, San Martín, Belgrano Sur, Belgrano Norte, Urquiza, and Tren de la Costa lines. The city's bus and subway services will follow the normal schedule.

Ground transport disruptions are likely June 25. Due to the train strike, subway, bus, and taxi services are likely to have higher congestion than usual. While organizers have not announced any protest plans, demonstrations are possible near government buildings and main train stations in and around Buenos Aires.
