TL;DR
- Asocodis and Andesco are concerned about a potential strike by Essa workers (Sintraelecol).
- They argue that electricity supply is an essential public service and strikes are constitutionally and legally prohibited in such sectors.
- The associations highlight the potential impact on citizens, strategic sectors like health and security, and the economy.
- They request intervention from government entities such as the Attorney General's Office and the Ministry of Labor.
- Both groups recognize workers' rights to improve labor conditions but stress that this should not compromise public access to essential services.
- Andesco specifically references Article 56 of the Constitution and Article 4 of Law 142 of 1994 regarding essential public services.
