Key projects at risk in third week of Panama construction strike

Panama’s construction workers  strike, called by the Suntracs Union has entered its third week with little sign of an early end as some 90,000 members await a May 12 assembly called by union leaders.

Work is paralyzed on 261 projects including Metro Line 3 and Tocumen Airport Terminal 2,  both needing completion in advance of World Youth Day in January 2019, which will attract scores of thousands of pilgrims to join Pope Francis.
