PANAMA Canal builders in
the National Union of Workers of Construction and Similar Industries (SUNTRACS)
have given
official notice to strike to the main contractor, reports the Panama
Canal Authority (ACP).
The target of
the strike is the Grupo Unidos por el Canal (GUPC), the main contractor for the
canal's third set of locks project, which is currently 93 per cent complete.
The ACP has
repeatedly appealed to both sides to reach an agreement on matters that, by
law, only pertain to dealings between GUPC and SUNTRACS members.
Although the
owner of the project, ACP is not responsible for labour problems arising from
GUPC relations with its unions.
"The ACP
is deeply concerned about the situation and is following closely the
developments on the matter as its business may be impacted directly if the work
is not carried out efficiently and promptly to deliver the project on
time," said the canal authority's press statement.
"We look
forward to the prompt resolution of this impasse by GUPC and SUNTRACS and will
be sure to update all relevant parties as the situation develops," it
said.
