Almost 13,000 port workers on a 24 hour strike in Peru

At least two thousand employees of the National Ports Company (Enapu) and over 11,000 stevedores are currently observing a 24-hour strike across the country, in opposition to the granting of ports in concession, due to their feeling of helplessness since they are not heard by the government.
This strike will be observed in Paita, Callao, Chimbote, Salaverry, Pisco, Ilo, Arica, Yurimaguas, Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado, that is the entire port system.
Wilmer Esteves, deputy General Secretary of the Stevedors Union rejected concession model that ProInversion is implementing in Peruvian ports, since, according to him, more than half of the 135 stevedores in Paita have lost their jobs in the end.
The president of the Enapu Workers Federation (Fentenapu), Gustavo Gutierrez, estimated that this strike will cause losses of up to 15,000 dollars.
