Union marcher do not loose a days pay anyway. What is the downside? My ex step son says he will be going to work ( MOPT) anyway and it best keep a low profile .. Private sector of course would not pay for your absence. .

The Private Sector should be planning a counter-march against the Public Sector marches, like the one against RECOPE two Saturdays ago. That was a march by ordinary citizens who are fed-up with being bilked by Public Sector workers, with their ridiculous wages and benefits payments and the outrageous Government taxation payments being levied. with nothing in return in the form of services or infrastructure.

I am sick of these Costa Rican Public sector Unions acting like they are the best thing. The goverment does not want to solve this problem then the citizens will need to do something and it could get very out of hand very fast.

Central American Date, the online financial reporter, just
called the country an ineptocracy, meaning a place run by the inept. The Urban
Dictionary describes the term as “a system of government where the least
capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded
with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing
number of producers”.
LA TROCHA???

It is these attitudes that will be the undoing of Costa Rica.
