Chile's Largest Copper Mine Union Calls for Strike Vote Over BHP Pay Offer

Deep News07:50

Union leaders representing a quarter of the full-time workforce at BHP's Escondida copper mine in Chile have urged members to reject the company's final wage proposal, raising the risk of a strike at the world's largest copper mine.

In a video released late Tuesday, the union, which represents over 1,000 supervisors and employees, said the company's offer fell short of demands and required workers to take on multiple tasks. The proposal will be presented to members at meetings this week, with a vote scheduled from September 28 to 30.

Union President Alexis Barrera said in the video: "The leadership unanimously rejects this final offer, and we urge members to vote in favor of a strike."

Earlier Tuesday, the company stated in a release that its final offer includes higher pay, allowances, and benefits, as well as changes to operational practices and terms for concluding negotiations. Under Chile's collective bargaining rules, the company is entitled to request a five-day mediation period before any strike can begin.
