A subway strike ended Monday after going on for four hours, disrupting services on five of the six subway routes in Buenos Aires and affecting some 700,000 people.
Subway workers staged the strike from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. local time (1000 and 1400 GMT) to protests against "forced" election of certain guild delegates, said Jorge Mendez, a subway guild representative.
They also protested against a lack of proper working security measures, Mendez said.
The strike was suspended after the Train Transport Union Guild (UTA) canceled the previously announced election results.
Five million people travel by subway every day in Argentina. Hundreds of thousands of Buenos Aires citizens were forced to use cabs and buses in the wake of the strike.
