With 99 votes in favour and 84 against, the employees of Cyprus Public Transport decided to continue the strike in the Nicosia district and thus the capital remains without buses for the 6th day.
Through a statement issued, Cyprus Public Transport expresses its apologies to passengers and says it seeks to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
- On the streets again the bus drivers in Nicosia... For the 6th day without public transport (pics)[/URL]
"We would like once again to express our apologies to the travelling public for the inconvenience suffered due to the bus drivers' strike in Nicosia, which is still ongoing.
Yesterday, after the end of the strike mobilisation of the workers' unions in Larnaca, Cyprus Public Transport met with the workers and the unions in the presence of the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works and the Minister of Labour, Welfare and Social Insurance and by the end of the day we had reached a joint agreement, taking into account all the demands of the workers.
Unfortunately, however, in Nicosia the unions are continuing the strike. Nevertheless, the company is seeking to resolve the issue as soon as possible and is resubmitting the proposed solutions, just as we did last Saturday," the statement said.
