Bus strike in Manaus: bus workers paralyze 100% of the fleet this Monday Public transport workers in Manaus began a general strike on Monday afternoon (20). The Road Workers Union announced the strike via social media in the early afternoon, without prior warning about the outbreak of the movement. According to the entity, the strike affects 100% of the fleet and was motivated by delays in paying the category's salaries. Images recorded at the beginning of the strike show stopped buses occupying important roads in the central region of Manaus, such as Leonardo Malcher and Constantino Nery avenues, around Integration Terminal 1 (T1). Vehicles are parked on the tracks. ?

"There is no alternative but to fold our arms. The category is tired of promises," he said. The strike began immediately and affects bus circulation in different areas of the capital. According to the union, the strike occurs even after court decisions that determined the application of a daily fine to companies in case of non-compliance with obligations related to the payment of wages. Until the last update of this report, there was no forecast for the return to operation of the public transport system. The union reported that the strike will be maintained until salaries are deposited.
