Bus Operators Waiting On
Response By Legislators
Before Contemplating
Strike Action
Bus operators have been
very patient during the
last month, waiting on
legislators to provide
solutions to the current
problem of high fuel
prices, before taking
any definitive action on
their part.
Maritza Hernández,
president of the Foro
Nacional de Transporte
Público, said that her
group will be visiting
the Legislative Assembly
today to hear a positive
response by legislators.
Hernández assures that
there is a lack of
political will a serious
solution to the problem
othern than raising bus
fares.
The Foro leader is
adamant that, failing a
positive solution, bus
operators will be
meeting in the coming
week to plan out a
strategy to pressure
legislators, a strategy
that could include a
strike action.
"This is serious, it
(buses) is a fundamental
service and if tomorrow
(today) we don't get an
answer things are going
to get complicated",
said Hernández.
Hernández added that a
strike action is still
standing, it has been
sidelined in the hope of
finding a solution,
because it is not
convenient for anyone. |
