Re:	Argentina – Port Strike

Port terminal workers in Buenos Aires have announced a strike for three days starting on Friday, October 10th .  The reason for the strike is the union's refusal to apply income tax to salaries.

Please note Monday, October 13 th is a national holiday in Argentina.

Will advise when further information is available.
