Trucks Drivers' Nation Wide strike * UPDATE *
Date: 16/07/2016
Please kindly note that the Automotive Cargo Transport (CATAC) has confirmed that strike will commence on July 18th (Monday) at 0000 hrs LT.
We remember you that the strike will affect normal operations since same will include Ports and Terminal blockades.
They are demanding an update on freight rates since, as per their comments "the fuel suffered an increase of 31%, tolls over 400% and tires another 20%" and said that "all of them must be reflected within new tariff. Otherwise we can not even cover the operative costs"
They will go on a strike, blocking all Buenos Aires / Santa Fe ports, threatening to extend it to other activities.
The Terminals would continue loading having enough stock but surely will be blockades in front of them and this may affect the staff entrance to the Termin als.
We'll keep you posted and updated.
