The trade union representing more than 1,000 supervisors and employees at Chile's Escondida mine said that salary negotiations are ongoing with the operator BHP Billiton Group to avoid a strike at the world's largest copper mine. Union President Alexis Barrera said in a text message earlier Wednesday that the two sides “might” reach an agreement. Just a few hours ago, the union announced the breakdown of negotiations and vowed to start a strike at 8 a.m. local time on Wednesday. The two sides originally needed to reach an agreement before midnight; currently, the time limit for mediation negotiations seems to have been extended.
