EMPLOYEES AT " LE BUS" RECENTLY WENT ON STRIKE DUE TO THEIR UNPAID WAGES

Over 100 former Employees of LE BUS in Yaounde have blocked the Nlongkak road this morning demanding payment of retirement benefits.

The employees and former employees of "LE Bus", an urban city bus company circulating in Yaounde, blocked the road with two large buses at Bata Nlongkak, where their company's headquarters is located.

Consequently, traffic has been blocked in this part of Yaoundé as a result of this strike action which has led to a gigantic traffic congestion over several kilometres. 

The situation affects the districts Etoudi, Emana, Mballa II, which are all interconnected by the blocked stretch of road.

The employees are complaining of several  (19) months of work without wages. The employees decided to go on the streets after negotiations with the government fell on deaf ears.

They chose to trigger the strike action 3 days before the start of the Women's African Cup of Nations  whose 10th edition, opens in the capital on November 19th, hoping to be better heard, by the Yaoundé regime.
