Reuters reported that workers at the top copper mine in the world, Escondida, have agreed to have early labor talks with the mine’s controller, global miner BHP Billiton.
As quoted in the market report:
Escondida’s union stunned the copper market last year by staging a two-week strike, which sent the mine’s output tumbling and raised the specter of an increase in labor action. Holding early talks this year suggests improved chances that the firm and workers can clinch a deal.
