This was confirmed by Guillermo Flores, President of the National Union of the Chilean Postal Company (SINTECH), who also declared that a 92% of the 5 thousand workers throughout the country supported this mobilization.



Flores stated that SINTECH, together with the other three unions (two postal workers’ unions and union N⁰ 1), joined to achieve unity of action, attempted to reach an agreement with the company during Thursday afternoon, but the latter “did not flexibilise its position”
