ECUADOR: Workers at the Ecuador state-owned oil company Petroecuador began an indefinite strike in Quito on Wednesday, demanding fair wages and better working conditions.

The workers also demanded the dismissal of Petroecuador’s human resources deputy manager Julio Cesar Moscoso for not complying with wage equalisation.

According to the workers, Mr Moscoso has failed to meet the terms of a court ruling on January 15, which guarantees  equal pay for equal work.
