BUENOS AIRES, Jan 6 (Reuters) – The union representing Argentine port-side grain inspectors will meet on Wednesday with agro-export corporations to attempt to clinch a wage deal that will finish a strike that began on Dec. 9, a union consultant mentioned.
The month-old work stoppage by the labor group, identified by its Spanish acronym Urgara, has hit port operations in one of many world’s high exporters of soybeans, corn and wheat. Argentina can be the highest worldwide suppliers of soymeal livestock feed.
When the strike began, Urgara was joined by the nation’s most important oilseed employees’ unions, which not too long ago struck contract agreements and are again on the job.
Urgara’s deputy press secretary, Juan Carlos Peralta, advised Reuters the assembly can be held within the nationwide Labor portfolio at 2.30 p.m. native time (1730 GMT).
“Hopefully we’ll attain an answer,” he mentioned.
Urgara’s strike impacts the T6 grains terminal operated by Bunge and native exporter AGD within the northern a part of the nation’s most important grains hub of Rosario. It additionally impacts Cargill and Louis Dreyfus terminals within the port of Bahia Blanca.
