Chile's response to Pinera's reforms: A strike and more protests
Following inequality protests, state workers and students are striking peacefully in protest of Pinera's reforms. Thousands of workers, including individuals from the healthcare and education sectors, are participating in large strikes. Government officials have imposed a 10 p.m. curfew in order to calm riots. Pinera's proposed reform package includes a minimum wage, increase in state pensions, and stabilization of electricity costs- critics believe this is not sufficient.
