The Metallurgical Workers Union (UOM) announced three general strikes for March. The first strike will be tomorrow, Wednesday.
The protests will intensify in the following two weeks, with measures of force for 48 and 72 hours, respectively. The measures were taken after the mandatory conciliation period imposed by Labor had expired. The UOM demanded a 35% salary update for February and the incorporation of a trigger clause to activate income monthly based on inflation data released by Indec. The businessmen of the Argentine Chamber of Steel made an offer of salary improvement for one quarter.
