BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — An Argentine judge ruled on Monday that the shuttered local subsidiary of Chicago-based printing company R.R. Donnelley & Sons can continue operations under the control of a workers’ cooperative.

The company closed its plant on the outskirts of Buenos Aires in August, filing for bankruptcy, citing economic turmoil Argentina, which is plagued by recession and one of the world’s highest inflation rates. At the time, workers protested outside the shuttered gate about the layoff of about 400 employees.
