A nationwide truck strike scheduled for August 31, 2021, aims to protest government mandates and advocate for medical freedom. Organizers claim the movement includes healthcare workers, teachers, and military personnel quitting in mass numbers. Similar "truckie" protests are reported in Australia and the Netherlands, threatening to shut down national supply chains.
Doctors in Peru have been on strike for five weeks, demanding higher wages in a country with a dynamic economy but stagnant public sector pay. Senior physicians reportedly earn as little as $1,500 a month. Protesters in Lima are using unique handheld pump horns that create a loud, high-pitched sound similar to an air horn, a device the hosts find more effective than the whistles used in European protests.
