Saying that a strike would just make the current situation worse, the president of the Santiago Traders and Industrialists Association (ACIS), Sandy Filpo, argued against the work stoppage announced for Monday. The nationwide strike called by the Alternative Social Forum for Monday, 11 July, is being organized in protest at the recent tax reform package and the increase in the cost of living.
Filpo told reporters at a press conference called by the ACIS that while there were more than enough reasons for a strike, he was appealing to the organizers to understand that any work stoppage would just make things worse. He added that if the strike does go ahead, the organizers should recognize the rights of those who chose not to participate. Filpo said he was in agreement with Cardinal Lopez Rodriguez and the Archbishop of Santiago, Ramon Benito de la Rosa y Carpio and their calls for order during a strike.
