Please note that a 24-hour strike was scheduled by port workers in Chile for this Thursday, June 18th.
This strike will affect the Port of San Antonio, but, fortunately, not Valparaiso. The strike is due to the workers’ rejection of the new labor reform law.
We will keep you informed about the development of this situation, and, as always, feel free to call or email us if you have any questions or concerns.
