Limassol water strike

LIMASSOL Water Board employees will stage a 24-hour warning strike on Monday and effectively shut off supplies to customers.

The strike is likely to aggravate a situation already made worse by the continuing drought, which has seen water cuts introduced in the city.

Staff say they can no longer avoid industrial action in the face of “unjustified delays” in implementing a re-organisation plan agreed with the management.

Unions warn that if the management response to the strike is negative, then the action will continue indefinitely.
