WORKERS STRIKE AT BHP'S ESCONDIDA, WORLD'S LARGEST COPPER MINE
NEWS Desk Global

Workers at BHP's massive Escondida mine in Chile launched a strike on Tuesday after labor negotiations with management collapsed, setting the stage for a potential blow to production at the world's largest copper mine.
Workers left their jobs at 8 a.m. (1200 GMT) as they demanded a bigger slice of copper profits, which have been buoyed by recent high prices. The union represents about 2,400 people, or most of the mine's frontline workers.
