Overview

• Argentina’s Transport Secretariat and Trenes Argentinos requested labor ministry intervention during the day, and late reports said conciliación obligatoria was imposed to halt the slowdown.
• From midnight, commuter services on the Roca, Mitre, Sarmiento, San Martín, Urquiza and Belgrano Sur lines ran at 30 km/h, triggering widespread delays and cancellations.
• Trenes Argentinos characterized the move as a surprise and covert action by La Fraternidad, with officials estimating disruptions for more than one million daily riders.
• A Roca train stalled between Burzaco and Adrogué, and videos showed passengers walking along the tracks before the service was restored.
• La Fraternidad rejects the strike label, citing safety risks, while ongoing grievances include stalled wage talks, poor ART coverage, low incomes on some lines and objections to timetabling.
