Campo buses on half hour strike, threaten indefinite strike from December 7

ALGECIRAS (Agencies/Photo: EuropaSur) Some fifty workers at the CTM-Grupo Ruiz bus company, concessionaires of the Campo's public system, came out on a wildcat half-hour wildcat stoppage yesterday in protest about the 'uncertainty' of their wages. Traffic came to a halt along the Avenida Virgen del Carmen for at least that long (photo). They announced that if they have no confirmation that they are to receive their next salaries by December 7, they will call an indefinite strike as from that day. The union leader, Ángel Santiago, said that the Council had not been keeping its promise of returning moniesfr om a 2009 subsidy from the government to the company, and that is why it was having trouble paying the wages.
