Colombia’s Labor Ministry today called an “obligatory arbitration panel” to resolve a seven-week strike that has paralyzed coal output at Drummond Co., the country’s second-biggest producer.
The decision, which “implies the lifting of the strike in said company” is open to appeal, the ministry said in an e-mailed statement. A majority of Drummond’s mine, port and rail workers last week voted to end the stoppage.
