 MEXICO CITY (AP) - The U.N. children's fund called Friday for the government and teachers who have been striking for the last five months in the southern city of Oaxaca to resolve the dispute so children could return to school.
The statement from UNICEF came as the government said time was running out on its offer to raise teachers' salaries in exchange for strikers ending their takeover of the city.
Tensions rose as a Senate commission wound up a two-day visit aimed at determining whether the protesters' main demand, the resignation of Gov. Ulises Ruiz, can be met.
