As if the problems surrounding the tourism sector were not enough, another one is coming on top of it. Strike in the discretionary passenger transport service. This was confirmed to La Voz by the spokesman for the bus drivers, Matías Mulet, member of the Unión Sindical Obrera (USO).
The strike notice was presented yesterday morning, and, according to legal deadlines, the protest could begin on Thursday, August 18. Mulet said that they are going on strike because "they simply do not want to negotiate." Today a press conference is scheduled at the Hotel Lancelot to expand on the details of the strike.
The strike notice puts the tourism sector in check, and, if the protest takes effect, it will consecrate the airport as the epicenter of chaos. If the taxi service does not cover the needs on a Thursday in Guacimeta with the buses transporting part of the tourists, what will the day of greatest movement be like without the buses running.
It is not the first time that the bus drivers have gone on strike. In previous years they also made themselves felt when their working conditions were not met.
