Reunion: Strike, roadblocks ongoing by hospital staff in Saint-Pierre as of morning Nov. 13

A strike by hospital workers is ongoing in Saint-Pierre as of the morning of Nov. 13. Participants demand that the government provide more resources for hospitals. Workers have reportedly blocked traffic in several areas, including Terre-Rouge, Terre-Sainte, and the Boissy and RN2 interchanges. The duration of the work stoppage, which began Nov. 9 in Saint-Denis, is unclear.

Medical service and transport disruptions will likely persist until workers suspend the strike. Participants will probably continue to stage pickets and block roads near hospitals and clinics; authorities will likely deploy increased security near any such gatherings that materialize.
