The strike declared by the factory workers from July 1 Company PSA Panama International Terminal Puerto de Rodman worries shipping companies.
Shipping company MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company SA warned of the impact of the labor crisis that the port terminal is facing both on its activities, as well as on the work of the Panama Canal and the logistics industry in general.
“We have been informed that at this moment, on June 1, 2023, at 8 a.m., terminal ž. PSA Panama International Terminal, SA, intervenes Ministry of Labour due to the announcement of a strike promoted by the union,” the company announced.
We understand that negotiations were conducted, in which certain demands were made, but even with a good dialogue, no agreement was reached between the parties.
MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company SA warned that they were not informed for the first time about the status of the complaints that are presented periodically and that in most cases they try to achieve a strike in the ports as a pressure measure to achieve certain results outside the compliance of the connections.
“We have been informed that at this point in time onion dog had to stop work so that a vote could take place to confirm whether the strike would go ahead,” the MSC insisted.
“It is worrying that, in the absence of a real labor crisis, the system can paralyze activity that should not stop,” he asked. Raffaele Porzio, Vice President of MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company SA
As you know, the importance of the operation of the Panama Canal and the port is crucial for logistics activities, Porzio said.
Port activity cannot stop at any time, especially when it is in the interest of a small number of people who only seek chaos, he added.
“If Panama intends to be a logistics center that attracts international trade and investment, it must apply public service standards to ports and guarantee legal certainty to companies,” said a representative of one of the affected companies.
