Antofagasta Workers End Strike After Ratifying Union Deal
Workers at Antofagasta's Centinela copper mine in Chile have ended a strike after ratifying a new collective bargaining agreement with unions. The deal, accepted by two unions representing approximately 700 workers, resolves the labor dispute and prevents potential disruptions to copper production during a period of tight global supplies. The resolution comes amid heightened market sensitivity due to ongoing supply constraints in the copper sector. Antofagasta's Centinela mine is one of Chile’s key producers, making its stable operations crucial for maintaining output levels at a time when demand remains strong globally.
