BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -An oilseed workers strike in Argentina is set to carry on into Saturday as wage negotiations with firms remained stalled, affecting shipments from one of the world's major grain exporters.

At least 36 ships loaded with grains remained delayed on Friday near the key agricultural port of Rosario, according to an industry spokesperson and unions.
