Reuters reported that the union at global miner BHP Billiton''s Cerro Colorado copper mine in Chile said on Friday that it will go on strike on Monday over failed contract negotiations.
The union, which represents 682 workers at Cerro Colorado, said the strike is set to begin at 07:35 am Chile time (10:35 GMT) on Monday.
Mr Leoncio Parra, president of Union 1 at the mine, said ¡°If the company doesn''t offer anything better we will go on strike on Monday.¡±
He said ¡°Unfortunately, the latest proposal by Cerro Colorado only considered a real wage increase of 1 percent, which we consider to be a mockery of the workers, whose efforts are the lifeline of the company''s profits.¡±
Cerro Colorado produced 55,600 tonnes of copper in January to September 2015, according to Chilean state copper commission Cochilco.
