Unions support the struggle of the IDAAN workers fighting privatization

Aniano Pinzón, the Secretary General of the General Union of Workers of Panama (UGTP), reports that there is a well-orchestrated effort by the government to weaken the IDAAN, Panama’s aqueduct and sewer public utility, to justify its privatization plan. Pinzón says the UGTP and the unions support the struggle of the IDAAN workers fighting privatization, noting that if necessary the workers will mobilize a national movement to prevent this entity from being privatized.
