Re: Strike Announcement in Argentina and Chile

Dear NASA Member:

We would like to inform you that there has been an unexpected and indefinite strike effecting the international route between Argentina and Chilean ports. This unfortunate circumstance went into effect on April 13th, 2003 at 12:00hrs.

The main factor resulting in this strike stems from the discussion of wage increases by the Transport Unions. There are several meetings being held at this time in the hopes that a mutual agreement can be met between both parties.

As more developemtents arise this office will ensure that all pertinent information is presented to you in a timely fashion.

If you require further information please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,
North America Shippers Association
