Mbeya,Tanzania -All Africa, by Ludovick Kazoka -18 January 2012: -- About 1,000 trucks are stranded at the Tunduma border town with Zambia after their drivers went on strike to demand official employment contracts as per newly introduced transport regulations... Earlier on Tuesday, Mbeya Regional Commissioner, Mr Abbas Kandoro, convened a meeting with the drivers to find a solution... He said the strike which started on Monday morning would affect the economy in terms of revenue and urged the drivers to call it off, while the government worked on their demands... The Surface and Marine Transport Regulatory Authority (SUMATRA) and leaders of Truck Drivers' Association (CHAMAMAT) attended the meeting... Last week, SUMATRA issued a statement instructing truck owners to sign employment contracts with their drivers and warned it would punish those who would not heed the order...Labels: strike
