UPDATE:
Good news, Customs is back to their normal schedule today at the airport, we'll get your mail on time.
PLEASE READ:
i spoke with Boquete MBE
Q: is it true the customs folks in panama are on strike?
A: yes there is a strike at Customs since Thursday. Fortunately we could release the mail that day and we will have it today in Boquete.
We don’t know how is it the situation today and must wait until our staff at the airport start working at 8.30 and will give us updated information.
The situation is critical as it affects the borders with Costa Rica and Colombia, the ports, the Free Zone and the airport, it cannot last long as it is causing a big damage to the economy of the whole country.
I was told that the government is giving the employees until today, dec 10, 2018, to go back to work or will replace them with new people as what they are asking for is unfair.
