Bolivia’s embattled government ordered all military trucks out on the streets to serve as transportation and to prevent a work stoppage by taxi, bus and truck owners from compounding a 24-hour general strike planned for today. A government statement said President Hernan Siles Zuazo gave the deployment order in a meeting with military chiefs. The strike has been called to support industrial workers who are demanding a 200% wage increase.
