Public employee protest takes over San José’s Second Avenue

Hundreds of public employees marched along the capital's Second Avenue to the Legislative Assembly on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2015. There, union leaders delivered lawmakers a petition asking them to oppose a bill, the “Public Employment Law,” which would eliminate public workers’ extra-wage benefits and bonuses. Protesters extended for about five blocks. At around 12:30 p.m. most of them began to leave the streets. Follow The Tico Times for updates (Alberto Font/The Tico Times)
