(prensa.com) The 800 current employees of the national postal service COTEL will decide next Saturday whether or not to go on strike.
The postal workers are reacting to the recent announcement of President of the Republic Ricardo Martinelli to privatize the institution.
Ismael Ruiz, President of the COTEL Employees Association, said that, so far, the future employment status of the postal workers is not clear.
Meanwhile, authorities are analyzing the options of privatizing COTEL in its entirety, or converting the institution into a mixed model in which actions are divided between the State and the private sector.
