Updates on Argentina port strikes involving the Union of Grain Receivers and Related Trades (URGARA).
Correspondents Pandi Liquidadores brings us this update.
Following URGARA's sudden strike announcement, the Argentine Government ordered a 15-day mandatory conciliation period between the Union and the industry chambers. During this period, URGARA is required to call off the strike and refrain from any industrial action.
Checks conducted at various ports indicate that operations are, for the time being, continuing normally.

The Argentine Union of Grain Receivers and Related Trades (URGARA) has announced a sudden strike at all private ports, effective from 22:00 LT on 19 August and for an indefinite period.
The strike may affect the operations of grain cargoes in bulk and their by-products.
Correspondents Pandi Liquidadores brings us this update.
Workers unions in Argentina have now lifted their strike and reached an agreement with the government and the private port terminals. The strike was initiated by URGARA (Grain Receivers Union) on 28 September and was later followed by the oil workers (SOEA), as well as SOMU (The United Maritime Union of Workers), up to 30 December 2020 when the agreement was reached.
The strike resulted to a considerable amount of ships being delayed in the Argentinian ports and various cargo operations being affected on a daily basis. The main cause of the conflict was the worker’s request for a pay increase.
While terminals are now expected to resume their operations, Members may still face some delays which will depend on the status of each terminal. Members are advised to liaise with the port agents and correspondents as necessary.
