Employees of Aruba's state-owned telephone company were participating in a three-day "work slowdown" protest last week to press their concerns about privatisation plans, leaving customers without repairs or installations.
Telephones were still working on the Dutch Caribbean island, but clients of SETAR were not been able to go to the company offices to pay bills, send telegraphs or make service arrangements, according to officials.
SETAR has more than 400 employees, all of whom want assurance from the government that it will not sell the utility to a state utilities holding company set up in 1992 to privatize the water and electricity plants, which are now operated by private firms but still government owned. The employees believe their jobs would be more secure if the utility is sold to a private firm.
