THE ongoing squabble in the management of the biggest bus company in the country which may result in disruptions in the transportation sector is seen to negatively impact the economy of Negros.
“If the situation worsens, to the point of a full stoppage of the bus operation for instance, we are looking at billion worth of losses in the economy of Negros in just a month,” he said, adding that these losses account for the goods not sold and undelivered services. For the business sector, the impending work stoppage will also affect the workers of other establishments under various sectors.
Carbon, however, said they hope that the Department of Labor and Employment will intervene and not allow the conduct of a strike knowing the magnitude of economic losses it may cause.
