Teachers, Trade Unions on Strike
Tegucigalpa - Honduran trade unions and
teacher training colleges are staging a new
48-hour strike, as part of the people's
resistance unleashed in this nation after
the June 28 military coup.
The labor organizations' decision was
adopted during a meeting held on Wednesday
afternoon, leaders of the National Front
against the Coup d'Etat stated.
Most unions in the public sector joined
actions to restore constitutional order and
restitute President Manuel Zelaya.
Meanwhile, the Honduran Federation of
Teacher Organizations and the National Front
will continue resisting and also demanding a
national constituent assembly.
The teachers' union called to a general
strike a day after the June 28 military coup
and adopted that kind of struggle four weeks
later, to avoid losing the school year.
Peoples' forces have reached their 68th
consecutive day of protests against the
putschists on Thursday. |
