A piece of news

Today i’m going to comment about a piece of news that involves a lot of people who live in Santiago: Transantiago strike.

Since the beginning of the day, bus drivers started a labor strike because their labor laws. In my opinion, their demand is fair because they don’t have minimum requisites to work or even they don’t have a right place to rest or to eat in their lunch hour.

But, even when they are in all their right, the citizens are the victims. Especially the working-class who needs to travel hours to go to work or study or everything. Always the periphery of the city is the most effect of everything and in this case isn’t the exception.

I live on Puente Alto, the commune with more population density, and travel around the city is difficult already so when all those things happens we keep enclosed and we can’t do nothing to change about.

Arriving the university was hard this morning to me, because buses didn’t stopped to catch people or they didn’t passed.

News like that are awful. Tv always show us the bad news first and it affects the viewers. I would like to watch on TV cheerful news or something like that. Sometimes, people needs to see good things to change their mood and television have the power to do it even without lose their mission of inform the country.

See ya next week!
