Description

Thousands of public employees demonstrated on Thursday against the National Development Plan announced by President Juan Manuel Santos and reductions in public expenditures stipulated in the plan. Unions representing workers in health, education, oil and criminal justice are challenging budget cuts that affect their jobs and the quality of services that they provide. After massive firings of oil workers, their union is considering the possibility of an indefinite strike. Natalia Margarita reports from Botota for teleSUR.
