2 Min Read BUENOS AIRES, April 19 (Reuters) - Road blocks erected by striking healthcare workers at the sprawling Argentine shale oil and gas deposit of Vaca Muerta left the local area without fuel and slowed production, union representative Marco Campos said on Monday. Workers demanding higher wages as they manage the country’s COVID-19 epidemic have been protesting for about 10 days. They include hospital orderlies, maids, nurses and doctors who have erected some 25 roadblocks around the town of Anelo, Neuquen Province, Campos said. Local media reported long lines at gas stations while fuel-hauling trucks were blocked from entering production areas. A meeting between government and union officials over the weekend failed to resolve the conflict. The striking workers are asking for a 40% raise to compensate them for the Argentina’s high inflation rate and the increased risk involved in treating patients struck by the coronavirus, Campos said.
