Teachers strike after fatal protest
From Times Wire Reports
Argentine teachers walked out in a one-day, nationwide strike after a high school chemistry teacher was killed by police last week during a protest over pay in the southern province of Neuquen.
In Buenos Aires, workers at banks, hospitals and government offices and in public transportation joined the strike for one hour.
Carlos Fuentealba, a 41-year-old teacher, died Thursday, a day after he was hit in the head by a tear-gas cartridge when police broke up a teachers’ protest and roadblock in Neuquen.
