Peru mining strike ends, labor ministry says

LIMA, July 6 (Reuters) - Peru's largest federation of mining workers has decided to end its nationwide strike after nearly one week, the country's vice minister for labor said on Sunday.

"The mining federation has handed in a document saying they will be lifting the strike tonight," Vice Minister Jorge Villasante told Reuters.

The strike in mineral-rich Peru had pushed up global metals prices as workers demanded a bigger slice of record profits in the sector. (Reporting by Teresa Cespedes; Writing by Terry Wade; Editing by Clarence Fernandez)
