Sector employees public transport had planned to meet at the bus station to Cassis-Residence Vallijee between 19:00 and 20:30. They could not do that because the police chose to cancel the permission granted in advance.

The reason given is the parliamentary session of the day. The police said that no gathering is held in the district of Port Louis the day when Parliament meets, except with written permission from the Commissioner of Police. It is precisely this authorization was sent to UBIW Monday.

" Why then make the decision to cancel the first authorization? The General Workers Federation (GWF) and UBIW believes that this reaction of the police institution is totally unacceptable and absurd. In doing so, the police made ??the game of employees in the transport sector , "said Ashok Subron GWF member and negotiator UBIW.

The meeting was finally held at the headquarters of the GWF. It is part of an advocacy campaign for the negotiations to be initiated in January for employees of bus companies.
