Work-shy Argies
Work-shy Argy truckers are in negotiations with grain exporters in an effort to resolve the on-going dispute between the two sides.
After months of disruptions to grain supplies out of Argentina following the drawn-out dispute between farmers and the government over tax hikes more supply delays are the last thing exporters need.
Trucks are getting through the picket lines but traffic numbers have been reduced by about 20-25% local reports suggest.
Yet More Argy Bargy
Argentine truckers are blockading ports disrupting grain supplies to facilities already struggling to regain normality after the crippling round of farmer strikes earlier in the year.
The disruption started last week but has deteriorated considerably Wednesday according to reports.
The truckers' protest started last Wednesday at a crushing plant and port facility run by Bunge near Rosario, with strikers extending the measure to the ports of Ramallo, Quequen and Bahia Blanca in Buenos Aires province.
Overnight the dispute has spread to San Martin, San Lorenzo and Ramallo ports in Santa Fe Province.
Union leaders have vowed to maintain the strike until the export firms meet their demands for improved working conditions.
