The disgruntled employees for foreign banks walked off the job at noon after dumping tons of shredded documents out the windows of their institutions, littering the streets of Buenos Aires with the refuse.

The strike follows Tuesday´s protests in which hundreds of bank employees marched on the foreign banks setting off smoke bombs and smashing windows.

"We are going to protest as long as necessary," said bank clerk union leader Juan Jose Zanola to local news sources on Tuesday. "The bankers are laughing at us."

Protests regarding the country's decimated economy are an almost daily occurrence in the Argentine capital and at times have turned violent.
