Mining Weekly reported that Codelco workers went on a 24-hr strike on Tuesday to protest for more job security and a safer working environment.

As quoted in the market report:

While the 24-hour strike is not expected to have much impact on output from the world’s No 1 copper producing country, Codelco workers have steadily pressed management for better conditions over recent months, raising the specter that a steady drip-drip of labor actions could end up slowing output.
