A Kraft Foods factory has reopened in Argentina after workers shut it down for more than a month to protest massive layoffs and anti-union measures.  The Illinois-based corporation denies it was trying to break up unions and last week it obtained a court order to dislodge more than 60 workers who were blocking operations at the factory.  The incident sparked street demonstrations yesterday and a response from the US embassy.  FSRN´s Marie Trigona has more from Buenos Aires.
