# URGENT: Dockworkers Declare Alert and Call National Strike at Grain Ports

> The Argentine Federation of Port Stevedores (FEPA) declared a state of alert in solidarity with SUPA Rosario, which is in a dispute with Terminal Puerto Rosario (TPR). The union rejects a proposed change to the collective agreement that would lengthen working hours, and says TPR also wants to freeze wages and refuses a salary review that would raise pay by about 100%.

## Why it matters

A national stevedore strike at Argentina's grain export ports, which handle a large share of soymeal and soyoil shipments, could delay loadings and widen basis discounts for Argentine product. That would tighten nearby export supply and support prices for meal and oil.
