Over 700 union members from Distrito Centinela and Minera Esperanza in Chile have voted to approve a new contract, bringing an end to a weeks-long strike. The workers had initiated the strike on October 7th after failing to reach an agreement with the mining companies during contract negotiations. Details of the new contract have not been immediately released, but the ratification signals a resolution to the labor dispute. The strike had concerned issues pertinent to the workers’ collective bargaining agreement. This agreement impacts operations at both Distrito Centinela and Minera Esperanza, significant mining operations within Chile. The end of the strike is expected to resume normal production at the sites. Further information regarding the terms of the contract will be released as it becomes available.
