Argentina orders halt to LATAM Airlines strike

Argentina has ordered striking aviation employees to resume wage talks with LATAM Airlines and return to work, after a walkout grounded 4 flights out of Buenos Aires' main airport. The workers, who belong to Argentina's Union of Commercial Airline Senior and Professional Personnel, went on strike at dawn at Buenos Aires' Ezeiza Airport over stalled pay negotiations. Labour relations are prickly in Argentina, where unions routinely butt heads with private companies and the govt over the scale of pay increases. A spokeswoman confirmed the mandatory negotiations but said she had no further details. In a separate dispute with the Argentine Federation of Aeronautic Personnel, or FAPA, the govt earlier this month ordered salary talks between pilots and LAN Argentina. <br/>
