VOICED : Huelga en mina chilena Escondida es la mayor de su historia

The strike at Chile's La Escondida mine, led by the union, has become the longest in its history, lasting 26 days with a goal of 60 days. The union is prepared for an extended strike, citing stable economic conditions. Recent talks with the Ministry of Mining and the company BHP Billiton ended without agreement. Workers demand the retention of benefits from the last collective contract. La Escondida contributes about 5% to global copper production.
