DESCRIPTION:The international economic crisis has hit Argentina with a vengeance, with 
 inflation expected to hit 100% for 2022. Powerful mobilizations of 
 unemployed and underemployed workers have broken out. After a 5-month 
 strike, the Single Union of Argentine Tire Workers (SUTNA) forced the tire 
 companies to give a massive wage increase to make up for inflation, and to 
 tie wages to future increases in inflation. The number of strikes has 
 risen, along with the activism and blockades of the “Piqueteros”,  the 
 unemployed workers’ movement. What is the way for the workers to fight 
 back in the face of this crisis? What role do socialists play in these 
 movements? \n\nGuillermo Kane is a long-time activist of the Partido Obrero 
 (Worker’s Party) and an elected deputy from the Workers’ Left Front – 
 Unity (FIT-U), in the provincial Buenos Aires regional parliament. He 
 participated as an organizer of the unemployed, community cafeterias, and 
 in the National Strike Assemblies of La Matanza district in 2001, and the 
 National Assembly of Workers in 2002 and 2005 from the National Piquetero 
 Bloc. He is currently an adjunct professor at the University of Buenos 
 Aires.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/10/23/18852729.php
