The seven unions that represent employees of the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) said yesterday that they are going on strike to protest telecom laws designed to put Costa Rica in compliance with the Central American Free-Trade Agreement with the United States (CAFTA).
ICE workers plan to walk out Nov. 26 according to Fabio Chaves, president of the Association of Costa Rican Electricity and Telecom Institute Employees (ASDEICE). Details of the strike will be sorted out at a union assembly following the walkout.
Chaves said that electricity and phone service will not be interrupted during the strike, although ICE workers will leave their customer service and maintenance posts.
