Bogota, June 1 (RHC)-- In Colombia, authorities have agreed to invest tens of millions of dollars in new hospitals, highways and infrastructure in the state of Chocó, following a massive 18-day civic strike by residents of the port city of Buenaventura. The strike prevented hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo from reaching the port.
Meanwhile, a nationwide strike by teachers in Colombia is continuing into its third week, as teachers demand better pay and working conditions, and more investment in education for students.
