Argentina: Unionized rail workers plan 24-hour strike nationwide Dec. 18
Unionized rail workers to conduct 24-hour strike across Argentina, Dec. 18. Freight and passenger rail disruptions likely.
Unionized rail workers, affiliated with La Fraternidad Union, plan to hold a nationwide 24-hour strike in Argentina on Dec. 18 to demand increased salaries. The strike will likely significantly disrupt all passenger and freight trains nationwide between 00:01-23:59 on Dec. 18.
The strike may cause a heightened demand for alternative modes of cargo and public transport. Residual disruptions are possible in the hours following the end of the strike. Small protests outside major rail stations are possible. Violence is unlikely.
Seek alternative transport and shipping methods for time-sensitive travel and freight if operating in Argentina on Dec. 18. Allow additional time for travel on alternative modes of public transport to account for possible congestion. Avoid any protests that may materialize.
