Labor strike at Peru's major port costs $44 mln. per day


According to the president of Peru's Exporter Association (ADEX), Luis Vega, the strike of harbor workers in Callao, Peru's major Pacific port, generates losses of US$ 44 million in exports and US$ 30 million in imports per day.

“This labor stoppage not only affects Peruvian exports but also the national industry who needs raw materials and capital goods. It affects the whole country”, Vega said, adding that ADEX has asked both parties to find a quick solution to this problem.

Peru's Harbor and Marine Workers Union called for an indefinite strike two days ago, asking for higher wages in collective form.
