Workers Unite Against Uncertain Future
The union representing train workers, [UNION NAME], has expressed deep anxieties about the potential closure of lines and layoffs.

Airline workers have also joined the strike, voicing concerns about the impact of Milei's economic policies on the aviation industry. They fear that the potential reduction in tourism and business travel could lead to job losses and a decline in flight frequencies.

A Call for Dialogue

The outcome of the strike and subsequent negotiations will be crucial for the future of the country's transportation system. This is a critical moment for all involved to find a solution that balances economic growth with the wellbeing of the workers who keep the country moving.
