Unionized workers at U.S. military bases in Japan go on strike

YOKOSUKA, Japan - Striking Japanese workers hold a rally outside the U.S. naval base in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture on Nov. 21. The workers went on strike, the first nationwide work stoppage action in 16 years by the 16,000-member All Japan Garrison Forces Labor Union, to protest proposed cuts in benefits as a result of Japan's plan to curtail host-nation support for U.S. bases.

    Juan Grabois at the national strike of workers against the government of Javier Milei in the National Congress in Buenos Aires, Argentina on January 24, 2024. Large crowds gathered in the heart of Buenos Aires and other cities for demonstrations called by the CGT union. Mr Milei was sworn in 45 days ago promising deregulation, deep spending cuts and the devaluation of the peso. The main rally in the capital was outside parliament, where politicians discussed Mr Milei's plan to deregulate the economy, slash labour rights and cut large areas of government to revitalise a country suffering 200 % inflation and 40 % poverty levels.
