The issue is Maya Cement which comes from a company called CEMEX in Mexico. They used to have a warehouse in the Cargo section, but recently changed that. Now, the new arrangement is that the 13 members of Northern Cement Truckers Association have to go over to Chetumal to load the cement. But they don't want to do that because one of their fellow truckers ended up in jail years ago when there was an accident at that original pickup location. So, they've gone on a strike - leaving thousands of sacks of cement waiting on the Mexican side to be trucked into Belize.

And, that's the standoff. And, to break it, CEMEX went ahead and hired two other truckers to bring in cement. And that's what caused the trouble today when the truckers blocked one of those newly hired trucks from leaving the parking compound.

Police were called to the area and had to ease tensions. Eventually, the vehicle blocking the truck was moved and it proceeded to the cargo section.

The truckers were then called into a meeting with customs officials which ended without resolution. The truckers say their "strike" continues until their concerns are addressed.
