Email this page

October 15th, 2014 (InsideCostaRica.com) The union representing the workers of the Costa Rican Institute of Aqueducts and Sewers (AyA), known as SITRAA, have announced a general strike on Thursday, October 16th.

 

The union is contesting the recent privatization of certain AyA functions, namely the outsourcing of water disconnections and reconnections, the reading of water meters and the delivery of water bills.

 

The union is also protesting a 20% cut in employee expense reimbursements for items such as uniforms, travel, and food expenses.

    Good, fire all of them, get rid of the top 1000 in management no bonus no nothing for them. Bring in all new people. Privatize the whole company, get the Government out of it! Why does the head of AYA make in excess of $13,000 a month plus bonuses?

    • Ken Morris

      I would guess that the head of AYA is management rather than union, putting you possibly on the union’s side.

        No, I would get rid of them all from top to bottom!

    Why even waste time discussing it. There is not a government or government managed department in the entire world that can operate as efficiently as a private company. Why, because they do not have to. Time to wake up CR and decentralize and privatize. What are you afraid of actually being held accountable for the work you do????????????
