SAO PAULO (AP) — Leaders of striking subway workers announced Monday night the union was suspending for two days a work stoppage that has thrown traffic into chaos in Sao Paulo before the city hosts the World Cup’s opening game this week.

But in a statement on the union’s website, leaders said they would hold a vote Wednesday to determine if their strike would resume Thursday — the day the tournament’s first match will be played in Sao Paulo.
