This is a bit scary, anyone know if these issues are still ongoing, or are things getting better:

November 2011 - "The Sunday protest was called because Aerolineas Argentinas planes were not meeting safety requirements, and the airline had not been investing enough in plane maintenance, said Ricardo Cirielli, the head of the technician's union. Cirielli said his technicians were being pressured to sign off on airplanes that did not meet all security requirements."
