Thousands of workers on a project to expand the Panama Canal agreed to end a strike that had paralysed construction for a week.
The stoppage was called off after the consortium in charge of the works agreed to increase the minimum wage.
The multinational consortium Grupos Unidos por el Canal (GUPC) said workers had accepted a 13% increase to the minimum wage. Union leaders said their members had accepted the deal, which increases the minimum hourly wage from $2.90 to $3.34.
