I hope no one is hurt and something good, like 24/7 power comes out of this. (I can dream, can't I? )
:laugh: I think Brother Ram?rez (secretary of FUNTRAPP) runs a fairly tight ship - certainly there is no intention for hurt or damage. Just posters, voices, etc. Not a good day for anyone to try paying bills though - the idea is to picket entry to the offices.
If you get told that Edenorte work crews were working on the problem this morning, I'd be sceptical. I went past Edenorte offices at 10.45 am - the biggest collection of Edenorte repair trucks I've ever seen was parked outside, 9 in total, complete with their 2 man crews. The guys were sat on the pavement chatting - it almost looked like the workers were on strike. Whatever they were doing they
weren't repairing breakdowns! Normally at that time of day you might get one or maybe even 2 trucks outside, but never 9.
Various other areas are planning either pickets, marches or strikes next week, for example Salcedo and Tenares
El Nacional, la voz de todos
and there was a report in yesterday's DR1 News about protests in parts of Santiago.
