The Acevedo family from Rosario planned a vacation to Florianópolis, Brazil, departing from Buenos Aires' Ezeiza Airport. They arrived at the airport for their flight scheduled for 8 AM on the day of a general strike announced by the CGT labor union. Upon arrival, the family anticipated a smooth boarding process, but things took a turn when they were informed at 7 AM that their flight had been canceled without any prior notification.

Despite having completed immigration checks and being prepared for departure, the family was left stranded without any official communication about the flight cancellation. José Acevedo, the father, expressed his frustration about the lack of notification from the airline and the chaotic scene at the airport, where other passengers were also affected. The abrupt cancellation left the family feeling helpless and unprepared for the upheaval of their travel plans.

The strike led by the CGT, impacting various sectors, affected numerous travelers, raising concerns about the communication efforts from airlines and authorities during such incidents. The situation underscored the vulnerability of passengers during labor disputes and highlighted the need for better systems to provide timely updates to travelers in similar scenarios.
