Workers Occupy Ancap Refinery In Uruguay

Workers at the ArcelorMittal plant in Lesakako have mobilized to protest the immediate and unpaid dismissal of a colleague. The demonstration highlights ongoing labor tensions regarding worker rights and compensation at the facility. Workers at a plant in Uruguay are conducting a blockade to prevent the entry of trucks and customers. The protesters are demonstrating against a plan being developed by Encap that they believe could lead to the plant's closure. The source stated the protest aims to highlight several negative points within the proposed plan. Workers have occupied the Ancap plant in La Tablada, preventing trucks from entering the facility. The occupation occurs as Ancap works to repair a breakdown at the Teja refinery. This disruption coincides with an expected increase in fuel sales due to rising prices at service stations.
