CFK asks companies and unions to be 'more rational'

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner referred today to the latest union conflicts, and said there's been always “clashes and discussions” between companies and their workers, and asked both parties to be “rational enough since they need each other in order to avoid collapsing, something we all experienced during the 2002 crisis.”

During simultaneous video conferences held from the Government House, the President hosted the inauguration of four new industrial projects including two shoes factory, a new line of John Deere tractors and harvesters assembled in Argentina, and a technological plant. 

Earlier today, the Head of State had to cancel a visit to Granadero Baigorria in Santa Fe province, where the John Deere's plant is located, due to the bad weather conditions that hit the centre region of the country.
