The mafia bosses of the country's top unions have announced a general strike for 30th April, protesting against the government'd economic policies, as they did back when Mrs Kirchner was president and look what that achieved.
...and so it goes on.

These people are in it only for themselves. God help the non-Union people, who already start out at the disadvantage of not having the mafia bosses strong arming the gov’t for inflation-tied increases.
It's so boring isn't it. Marches, protests, strikes. What's amazing is this is not a desperate last attempt, it's simply the Argentine way that has gone on for decades. Change the record.

Can't. It got stuck somewhere between Peron and Cristina.
When I was an employee (so to speak, I was under multiple contracts that lasted about 6 months each), it was considered a risky move to go on strike. The management would label you as lazy or troublemaker. If you wanted to advance in your career, it was an extremely unwise move to go on strike. It was perceived as something that only the lower workforce could do. No white collar would go on strike!
While certainly we didn’t have the level of mobility as in the US, and promotions didn’t happen overnight, one had to play the strike card very carefully, if ever.
Now that I have been working freelance for a while, I have been looking for strikes, national holidays, non-working days as an opportunity to work more.

May the 1st is a public holiday and all transport services will be on strike, as most of the employees will be bussed into the Plaza de Mayo to wave flags, stuff their faces with subsidised choripanes (with Coca Light), wreck the place and generally try to look as if they mean it.
When there’s a transport strike, I’ve always assumed that includes airport workers. True?
Meanwhile out in the sticks most businesses will operate as normal on Tuesday. They'll open for four hours in the morning before closing for a five hour siesta. Followed by going back to work for another three hours spending the time changing price tags to reflect increasing costs caused through unproductive working practices.

El paro de transporte será total, ya que no habrá subtes, trenes, colectivos ni aviones.
Makes sense. The more people inconvenienced or totally screwed by a strike, the more successful it is.

That's the general idea, sadly.

On another forum I've read a few posts from people who have been disrupted by the cancellations of their BA flights to London next week. Best of it is their anger is all aimed at BA!! I'm sure the union leaders will be delighted to hear it.
Imagine you're returning home for something really important and you can't fly the day before or the day after.
They all have their head's up their arse's.
No a Todo!
What was the final upshot of the strike?
