The strike in the area north of Rosario paralyzed export facilities operated by Cargill, Bunge, Molinos Rio de la Plata, Vicentin and ACA, trade union and company sources said.
“There’s no one inside because there’s a protest on the access road and they’re not letting anyone in,” said a source at Bunge’s Terminal 6 port facility in Puerto San Martin, asking not to be named.
The CGT branch wants grains exporters to give all its members the same 5,000-peso ($1,208) minimum monthly wage secured by soy-crushing workers, who staged a two-day strike last month.
