Panama Canal expansion works remain suspended by the Construction Workers National Union (Suntracs), which called a general strike on all construction works on 23 April.
Suntracs has presented a new wage proposal to the Panamanian Chamber of Construction (Capac) in an attempt to end the stoppage that is affecting some 400 projects, 98% of all the construction work in the country.
Saul Mendez the Suntracs secretary general said that in recent days there have been significant advances. Neither party provided details of the new offers.
