Panama Canal expansion strike settled

A company expanding the Panama Canal has settled a strike by 6,000 workers that had paralyzed work for six days.  The multinational consortium Grupo Unidos por el Canal says in a news release that the workers have agreed to a 13 percent wage increase and will return to work on Monday.  Union representative Saul Mendez says workers are not completely happy with the deal raising hourly pay to about $3.34 an hour, but still made important advances.
