Hundreds of Argentinians
Protest For Rise In Salary
BUENOS AIRES - Hundreds of Argentine workers
demanding a rise in salary occupied Buenos
Aires province's Department of Culture and
Education building for six hours Tuesday.
The protesters, all members of the
Association of State Workers, said they
would stage a strike on April 7.
The workers also demanded authorities return
the amount of money deducted from their
salaries for participating in a strike in
February.
Mario Oporto, director-general of the
province's Educational and Cultural Affairs,
said he wouldn't meet the workers as long as
they continue their protests, which he
called violent.
Gustavo Corradini, assistant director for
the department, said the protesters would be
taken to court to determine how much they
should pay for the possible damage.
