Union leaders say that Argentine workers will comply with the government's order to call off a wage strike that has disrupted exports and grain crushing for a week. The government ordered the unions to suspend the strike for fifteen days, a period during which they will negotiate with the companies. The order will take effect on Wednesday. The union leaders said that they did not want to break to law, and would try to negotiate with the companies. The strike has stopped nearly all exports and work at crushing factories, and analysts say that if the strike continues into harvest season, the effect could be much bigger.
