Colombia service stations warn labor cost surge threatens 24/7 operations

Colombian union Somos Uno reports a 53.5% increase in the cost of maintaining a job position over two years, prompting service stations to warn that 24/7 operations may become unsustainable. The claim is based on union data, not yet corroborated by employers or government statistics. This signals rising labor cost pressures in Colombia's retail fuel sector, potentially affecting pricing and employment.
