Argentina's grains inspectors union launches strike

Posted on March, 31, 2023 at 12:38 am


Argentina's grains inspectors union URGARA said it will launch a strike starting after midnight on Thursday in protest over the harm high inflation is having on their salaries.

URGARA is an association of grain technicians who analyze grains held in storehouses and loaded on ships, so their strike could affect the country’s grain trade.

Argentina is the world’s leading exporter of soybean oil and meal, and the third-largest exporter of corn. (Reporting by Adam Jourdan; Writing by Carolina Pulice; Editing by Anthony Esposito)
