The Chamber of Private Commercial Ports (CPPC) filed a formal complaint with Argentina's labor authority, alleging that the grain-handlers union URGARA is not complying with a mandatory conciliation order. At the Bahía Blanca port, union delegates reportedly refused overtime and blocked staff reassignment between sectors, and more than 400 trucks are stranded and delayed near the port.
Strikes and work-to-rule actions at Bahía Blanca slow grain and oilseed loadings from Argentina, tightening near-term export availability for soymeal and soyoil and supporting nearby prices while the dispute lasts.
