Colombia Oil Workers' Union to Hold Indefinite Strike

Colombia's main oil workers' union, the USO, will hold an indefinite strike, its president Edwin Castano told Reuters on Wednesday, in protest over widespread job cuts in the sector after a plunge in crude oil prices, but no start date has been set.

 

More than half of Colombia's oil is produced by state-controlled Ecopetrol while the biggest private sector player is Toronto-listed Pacific Rubiales.
