Argentina calls for fresh talks between oil workers and companies, strike averted
Argentina’s labor ministry called for a mandatory 15-day period of fresh talks between oil sector workers and the country’s largest oil producing companies, requiring a workers union to call off a strike announced hours earlier over a wage hike.
Workers and the companies, including those that operate in Argentina’s sprawling Vaca Muerta region, one of the world’s largest shale-oil reserves, said earlier in the day they would walk off the job for 24 hours after failing to reach agreement in negotiations.
“We must now undertake the measures necessary to promote a peaceful and legal solution to the conflict,” the labor ministry said in a statement.
