National transporters announced that they will go on strike on February 15 in order to assert pressure because of the outsourcing of cargo from the CFZ to international companies.

The National Chamber of Cargo Transportation is preparing a strike in conjunction with the Truck Drivers Syndicate of Chiriqui, which on several occasions has expressed its disagreement with the outsourcing of cargo services in the Colon Free Zone.

“… Manuel Mora, Secretary General of Canatraca said that the Government has forced them to take the action because they ‘have not responded to requests’ in relation to the outsourcing of cargo leaving the Colon Free Zone. ”

Mora said in his statement to Prensa.com that “… ‘A list of demands was handed over to the Governor of Chiriqui, but the authorities have not responded and we are warning them that they are forcing us to start this strike.'”
