LISBON - Portugal’s fuel-tanker drivers voted on Sunday to call off an indefinite strike, with their union agreeing to negotiate with employers in government-brokered talks due on Tuesday.

Demanding better salaries and working conditions, the National Hazardous Goods Drivers’ Union started striking on Monday after negotiations with their employers’ association ANTRAM failed.ANTRAM said they were open to government-moderated negotiations but only if the strike was suspended or called off.

“Given that all conditions are in place to negotiate with ANTRAM and the government, it was decided that the strike would be called off,” Pedro Pardal Henriques, SNMMP’s vice president, told reporters.During the strike, motorists were limited to buying up to 15 liters of petrol at special filling stations, but there was no mass queuing at stations as there was in April.
