Venezuela's state oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA), reaches an agreement with the oil unions representing its workers, following a suspension in talks and threats of nationwide oil-worker strikes. The agreement is seen as a positive development for the company and the country, as PDVSA is a major contributor to the Venezuelan economy and any prolonged strike could have serious economic repercussions.
