The union representing workers at BHP’s Escondida mine in Chile said on Monday that it would accuse the company of “anti-union practices” for making a contract offer to its members before the end of a government-mandated mediation process.
The company and the powerful workers’ union have been in a five-day period of government mediation, due to expire at midnight on Monday, aimed at preventing a strike after workers overwhelmingly rejected a contract offer from BHP during a formal negotiation period. In an internal memo to members, the union said that BHP made an offer “in an illegal manner” to union members as negotiations were ongoing.
The company’s offer on Monday includes a bonus equivalent to about $28,900 per union member, according to a source.This year, the Caserones mine is expected to produce 120,000 to 130,000 tonnes of copper and 2,500 to 3,000 tonnes of molybdenum.Peru copper output slides nearly 12% in June Over the first six months of 2021, the country produced 1.29 million tonnes, down 2.1% from the same period last year.
