" In another smoldering labor conflict, some workers laid down their tools on Saturday at the Panama Canal expansion project in central Panama, deputy labor minister Luis Ernesto Carles told Reuters.
Earlier in the week, dozens of striking workers on the $5.25 billion project were fired and several were arrested for refusing to return to work after authorities brokered a deal to improve work conditions.
"Where we are still having some interference is in the Atlantic part" of the expansion project, Carles said, adding the project was suffering from partial work interruptions.
The Panama Canal has remained open throughout the dispute."
