The representative of Doe Run Peru's employees, Alfredo Huarica, announced that they have
decided to lift their strike, (for 30 days) after the meeting they had with an executive committee.
Congressman Jorge Del Castillo had said that the workers might manage the mining complex.
Alfredo Huarica told to Radio Programas del Peru that the workers were to lift the strike and clear the Central Highway in the short term.
During the last 2 days the workers blocked the road (causing thousands of passengers to be left stranded on highways) claiming for the presence of a governmental committe in order to discuss the company's status and to avoid massive layoffs.
