Transport Strike
Rejected in Venezuela
CARACAS - The Socialist Assembly of
Venezuelan Transport Workers rejected the
call to a general strike in transportation
because they consider it a call against its
people.
According to that group spokesman Felix
Jaramillo, drivers and transport workers in
general won't allow other groups to stop
that service.
He commented to Venezolana de Television
channel that the strikers may stop four or
five cars, but he and the people are going
to counterattack them in Caracas and in the
rest of the country.
He also warned that everywhere the strikers
stop the service they will go with their
units and will establish it again.
The striker's intentions are related to the
supposed governmental rejection towards the
discussion of raising ticket prices.
Jaramilllo said that the best way to solve
the problem is to promote a national
dialogue with different social groups
included.
He pointed out that the government is not
against raising ticket prices, but to get
that raise, is better to debate the topic
without interrupting the service. |
