Due to a strike by the Union Association of Subway and Premetro Workers (AGTSyP - Metrodelegados), the subway line B
did not start its service this Thursday
, which generates serious complications amid the restrictions to travel due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The measure, which runs from midnight and will last until the end of the day, is due to the fact that, according to the union, the company "disarms" the health bubbles, which puts the health of the workers at risk.
In addition, they demand more staff.
"We have decided to paralyze the service from 0 am this Thursday to protect our health. We
denounce the criminal attitude of the Metrovías company,
which since the beginning of the pandemic has been exposing workers and users to conditions that put health and safety at risk. life against COVID-19 ″, says a statement released by the workers.
However, from Metrovías they described the claim as "surprising and excessive" and assured that "it responds to the refusal of the Traffic area personnel to implement the new diagram, according to which they add only one more hour of work per week (Saturday or Sunday, punctually) ", which leads the staff to work
3 hours a day
during the week and 4 on the weekend.
Through a statement, the company assures that this diagram is already applied in the rest of the lines of the network "without any type of risk or inconvenience for users or workers since it was designed within the framework of the health protocol by Covid".
Metrovías also reported that "in a palliative manner" they called hierarchical personnel to "try to resume the service."
Currently, and due to health restrictions due to the pandemic, about 55 thousand people travel on line B per day, who this Thursday will have to use buses or private transport to travel.
