After failing to reach an agreement on the salary increase between the Chilean government and the public sector, state employees in Chile are conducting a national strike today, November 25th, and tomorrow, November 26th.

Many public services will not be available, which may cause cargo not to be allowed in terminals and potential delays on documentations, inspections, etc.

Please be advised of this situation and take preventive measures as needed. We will keep you updated regarding the status of the strike.
