Argentina: Lingering subway disruptions likely in Buenos Aires after unionized transport workers launch strike July 6 to protest assault of guard

Unionized transport workers employed by Emova, the operator of the Buenos Aires Underground (Subte), have launched a previously unannounced strike on July 6. The reported purpose of the labor action is to denounce an alleged assault on a guard at the Diagonal Norte station. Emova authorities had reported consequent disruptions to subway service on Line C as of around 13:16. The time at which typical service would resume on Line C was not immediately clear.

Subway disruptions, including train delays and cancellations, will likely affect the Buenos Aires Underground over the coming hours, especially on Line C. Residual subway disruptions may continue even after the labor action concludes in the event that Emova needs to reposition rolling stock.
