President Evo Morales is meeting on Thursday at the Presidential Palace with leaders of the Bolivian Trade Union (COB), to continue talks after protests errupted for a five-percent wage increase.

Industrial, mining and teachers sectors called on Monday for an indefinite strike and a march from Caracollo, 124 miles of La Paz, measures that were partially obeyed until the call ultimately failed.

Union's executives and leaders created commissions to analyze the situation, while the COB stated that protests would be postponed to evaluate official proposals.

One of the most controversial issues was a Pension Law, considered by members of the government as one of the most democratic measures of the region.

According to the country's Vice President Alvaro Garcia, that regulation will allow retirement in ages previous governments have never predicted before.

The Constitution, enacted in February 2009, establishes that the Pension Fund Administration is in charge of the State, Garcia told journalists.
