Strikes South

On April 10th, Argentina experienced a significant nationwide strike in protest against the austerity measures and policies implemented by President Milei's government. The strike, characterized as a general strike, effectively brought much of the country to a standstill, demonstrating widespread discontent with the current political and economic direction. Simultaneously, in Brazil, a separate labor action unfolded in the city of Lages, Santa Catarina. Approximately 3,000 municipal workers initiated a strike, driven by disagreements and dissatisfaction surrounding their employment contracts. This strike highlighted ongoing labor disputes and demands for improved working conditions and benefits within the Brazilian public sector. find the original article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/04/15/boyw-a15.html
