The president of the Union for the Conservation of Costa Teguise (UCCT) has assured La Voz that "the problem has already been solved" regarding the garbage strike in Costa Teguise, which was started by the workers of the company Insercorsa this Monday due to the non-payment of their salaries. "We are paying them now and with this, the issue is provisionally resolved," Bernard Graziello, president of the UCCT, told La Voz.
Specifically, the UCCT, with "the authorization of the company," has paid the October salary to the 42 workers, according to Graziello. "The employees have seen the effort we have made from the UCCT and they will thank us by starting to work this Thursday," he said. Thus, garbage collection will resume at 4:00 PM. "They will start cleaning up as much as they can," he indicated.
Bernard Graziello has indicated that next week, the UCCT, together with the mayor of the City Council of Teguise, Oswaldo Betancort, "will solve this issue" definitively. In this sense, he indicated that "there is a process underway" that "will solve the garbage problem," but he did not want to specify what it is based on.
For its part, the City Council of Teguise has indicated that "Costa Teguise will return to normal over the next few hours." The mayor, Oswaldo Betancort, has stated that "no town can be allowed to suffer a garbage strike for days, but even less so Costa Teguise, the economic engine of the municipality, which lives directly from tourism." "And, especially now that occupancy rates are improving every month and a setback could be too negative," the mayor warned.
