[Argentina] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 31, 2025, tire factory workers and SUTNA union members staged a peaceful protest near the Panamericana highway in Boulogne Sur Mer, Buenos Aires, opposing workplace condition changes and worker dismissals. The low-severity demonstration reflects localized labor tensions in Argentina's manufacturing sector.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on whether the labor dispute escalates to disrupt tire production or broader manufacturing operations in the Buenos Aires industrial corridor.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation to work stoppages or factory shutdowns that could affect tire production capacity
• Track potential spread of labor unrest to other manufacturing facilities in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area
