Telecom workers continue strikes

Bnamericas
The Buenos Aires telecom workers federation (Foetra) in Argentina has called its members to join the permanent strike at local telecom operators Telefónica de Argentina (NYSE: TAR) and Telecom Argentina (NYSE: TEO), local press reported. Foetra is demanding that operators increase workers' salaries 25% and that if there is not progress it will maintain protests until Friday (Nov.5). Telecom has argued that the basic salary per worker has increased since 2002 by 48.2% while the inflation index has increased 49.5% in the same period. Protest measures would affect service quality even though Telecom is planning different strategies to minimize effects, the company said previously in a statement.
