# The Labor Secretariat seeks to unblock the union dispute in the oilseed industry affecting foreign currency inflows

> Oilseed workers' unions and industry chambers are due to meet at Argentina's Labor Secretariat to try to agree a wage deal. The failed talks led to several days of strikes and a mandatory conciliation order. Repeated stoppages have stranded thousands of trucks and idled about fifteen export terminals.
