Bolivian Workers Begin Strike
-----------------------------



In Bolivia, workers began an indefinite strike on Monday to demand
higher pay. The strike marks one of the first open confrontations
between Bolivia’s labor unions and President Evo Morales. Morales is the
former head of the coca leaf producers union. As part of the strike,
miners are marching 125 miles from Caracollo to the capital La Paz.
