Grains truckers to go on strike in eight provinces
The strike is expected to affect the cereal shipments across the country and transit on the nation’s main port.
Grains truckers called an indefinite strike today to demand higher pay rates just as the agricultural powerhouse starts its key soy harvesting season.
The FETRA group of trucking companies said the government has failed to ensure the implementation of a guaranteed minimum hauling tariff that was agreed to after a strike in October.
A FETRA spokeswoman said a meeting was set for this afternoon with the Transportation Ministry, but that the truckers were ready to dig in for an indefinite strike while negotiations develop.
