Argentine oilseed and maritime unions struck on Monday to protest labor and tax reform bills backed by President Milei. The strikes coincided with congressional debate on the legislation, and union leaders said they would continue while Congress is in session.
The oilseed union operates in Rosario, the hub of Argentina's soybean export industry.
