Subte Strike 101

[sinagua980]

Quick interlude for a question: Do workers on strike get paid during the strike?

 

[El chabon]

Yes, they will or strike won't end

I didn't know this. Presumably they got nice new ones in Sao Paulo?

Found this link from last year.

24 more 70s trains from Spain.

They look identical to the ones they already have.

I wonder if they're operating yet and if the aircon works in them

I did not know either. Few months ago when i was ridding the d line i noticed a few small prints in Portuguese across the inside of the train. For example on the glasses of every window i see printed "industria brasileira". I asked my argentinian coworker what this was about and he told me that they had imported the trains from sao paulo a decade earlier as the brazilian city was retiring its first generation of train. I had no idea.

And who pays who the millions of pesos in fines?

I think they get paid if the strike is legal.

Not sure what happens when they ignore the judges instructions to sit an negotiate.

Anyway could be all over this evening

Do you know if these "new" trains are actually new or used and discarded by a saner government of another country?

Also, the article said that they will be used on line D and then line A.

Nope i don't know if they are pre-used but they don't look like the some ones Madrid have sold the Argentina.
