Expreso Brío, a logistics company with over 20 years in Argentina, has laid off 200 employees across the country in a wave of cuts that began months ago, with the latest 60 terminations at its Rosario headquarters. The company has also closed offices in several cities, including Mar del Plata, San Juan, Mendoza, Santa Fe, and Rafaela.
Workers reported that the layoffs occurred without cause and accuse the company of a possible asset-stripping scheme. The cuts were staggered: Córdoba and Buenos Aires offices saw approximately 50% staff reductions before the Rosario dismissals. Employees found the Rosario plant gate closed on Tuesday; a company spokesperson selectively allowed entry, leading to uncertainty.
Beyond layoffs, Expreso Brío owes salaries for May and June 2026, along with bonuses and the mid-year bonus (aguinaldo). Workers report only "promises of payment" with little certainty of fulfillment. Affected employees have 10 to 20 years of seniority.
