Argentina: Public Workers Launch 24-Hour Strike
-----------------------------------------------

In Argentina, teachers and other public workers launched a 24-hour
national strike Tuesday. They are demanding higher salaries and opposing
right-wing President Mauricio Macri's veto of a bill intended to prevent
layoffs. Since taking office in December, Macri has slashed 10,000
public sector jobs.
