RTRS-ARGENTINE DOCK WORKERS UNION SAYS STRIKE STOPS GRAINS CARGO SHIPS FROM MOORING IN ROSARIO

BUENOS AIRES, March 6 (Reuters) - Argentine dock workers are still on strike, preventing 150 grain ships from mooring in the country's main shipping hub of Rosario, union official Omar Suarez said on Tuesday.

The country's port chamber, known as CAPYM, said on Friday the workers had ended their strike. But Suarez said the work stoppage continued while the union, known by it Spanish acronym SOMU, demands better work conditions.
