SANTIAGO, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Canada's Lundin
Mining ( LUNMF ) said Saturday it had reached an agreement with
union workers at the Caserones copper mine in Chile after a
strike that lasted nearly two weeks.
A majority of union workers voted to accept a 36-month
collective contract, Lundin said in a statement, which included
a 2.5% salary increase, a signing bonus and improvements in
incentives. It also includes a soft loan of $3 million pesos per
worker.
A Chilean court earlier this week ordered the striking
union, which represents around 300 workers, to stop blocking
roads around the mine after Lundin filed a complaint with a
court in the northern city of Copiapo amid a strike that has
lasted over a week.
The Caserones mine produced 139,520 metric tons of copper in
2023.
