Breaking News-RTRS-Strike continues at key Argentine grains port

BUENOS AIRES, March 24 (Reuters) - Argentine dockworkers
continued a strike for a second day on Wednesday at two terminals
in one of the country's main grain ports, a union leader told
Reuters.
The workers have halted the loading and unloading of ships to
demand higher wages. Talk about the strike has affected soy prices
in Chicago.
Wednesday is a holiday in Argentina, and grains markets are
closed. However, dock and ports workers would normally continue
around the clock even on a holiday, the union leader said.
