Metrotvnews.com, San Juan: Ribuan pengunjuk rasa yang tergabung dalam serikat pekerja memblokade jalan di San Juan, Puerto Rico, Jumat (16/10) waktu setempat. Massa memprotes pemecatan lebih dari 20.000 pegawai pemerintah. Pemerintah berdalih pemecatan dilakukan untuk menutupi defisit keuangan yang mencapai US$ 3,2 juta. Upaya ini diyakini bisa memulihkan perekonomian Puerto Rico yang tengah dilanda resesi selama tiga tahun terakhir. Negara persemakmuran Amerika Serikat itu memiliki angka pengangguran 15,8 persen. Angka ini tertinggi di antara negara bagian atau teritori Negeri Paman Sam. Apabila pemerintah melakukan pemecatan, angka pengangguran diperkirakan mencapai 17,1 persen.(**)
