A global printing company based in the U.S. shuttered its plant Monday in Argentina amid tough economic times in the South American country.
Employees of the R.R. Donnelley & Sons plant in Buenos Aires showed up to find a note on the door informing them the operation is now closed.
"We profoundly regret to inform you that, confronted by an insurmountable crisis and having considered all the viable alternatives, we are closing our operations in Argentina," the note read.
Some workers staged a protest, setting tires on fire and beating on drums. Union leaders said they would meet with Ministry of Labor officials in an attempt to reverse the layoff of about 400 workers who produced a number of leading magazines. - AP
