that when Argentina went bankrupt in the early '00's, all but 7% of the debt reached an agreement.

Now, the other 7% (banksters) are suing Argentina in US Courts for a complete 100% return of their money since their Treasury has the funds. This was a month or two ago.

Also, I've read that 'new money' was coming into Argentina thus increasing inflation. And Argentina was trying to put limits on incoming money.

But I'm on the side of the strikers as always. The workers are always the ones who get stabbed in the back when the economy starts to implode/explode.

Argentinians remember how awful it was just a short 10 years ago. It was HORRIBLE!

Workers Unite.
