Bolivia’s busiest airport was shutdown on Wednesday after employees went
on a one day strike.
All flights at
Viru Viru International Airport were cancelled as workers demanded two months back pay from the government.
The government has frozen the wages while
investigating alleged corruption at the airport.
The airport located in Santa Cruz was the site of incidents last month when thousands of locals overran the facility after the withdrawal of government troops. Santa Cruz has been the epicenter of disagreements between the federal government and local political factions.
