Bolivia’s government signed an agreement with the Cob labor union to resolve a strike that had halted parts of the economy. The pact follows weeks of protests and work stoppages that affected transportation and public services across multiple regions.

Details of the agreement Officials stated the deal includes measures on wages and working conditions. Union representatives said the terms address core demands raised during the strike. The government and the union both confirmed the signing in separate statements.

Background on the dispute The strike began after disagreements over labor policy and had led to reduced output in mining and transport sectors. No timeline was given for full resumption of normal operations.
