Firefighters Union Cancels Strike and Protest

The National Union of Sapadores Firefighters (SNBS) announced on Thursday that it has canceled the planned strike and protest scheduled for January 15. This decision was made to allow for a government meeting set for January 16, which the union claims was arranged against previously agreed negotiation processes.

The union emphasized that this step is intended to ensure that the government does not use unfounded arguments or strategies to avoid negotiations with the SNBS or to suspend talks altogether.

In their statement, the SNBS expressed hope that this pause will raise awareness among decision-makers about the legitimate demands of this professional class. They warned that if the proposals presented do not meet the expectations of the sapadores firefighters, they will resume their planned actions for protest.
