Lear output in Argentina disrupted by union conflicts

Lear could close the factory permanently or move production to Cordoba.

Lear intends to close its facility in the General Pacheco facility (Argentina) for 15 days over issues with unionised workers, according to reports by local media. There are concerns that unionised workers have been harassing other workers. Employees will continue to be paid during the shutdown. On 31 July 2014, a court order was meant to guarantee the reinstatement of five union leaders who were re-elected in 2013 but then removed through an assembly organised by SMATA, a union with "close links" to the government.
