22 bus drivers had said they would participate in or the strike, but not all are striking. Nordeka believes that only eight drivers actually went on strike.
Today is the fifth day of the strike.
In the meantime, all Nordeka buses have been running as scheduled during the previous three days.
The strike will continue indefinitely until the company's board fulfills the protestors' demand to increase the hourly wage by at least 25%, LABA informed LETA.
