On Monday, the union at BHP's Escondida mine in Chile accused the company of engaging in 'anti-union practices' by presenting a contract offer to workers before the conclusion of a government-mandated mediation period.
The five-day mediation process, aimed at averting a potential strike, is set to expire at midnight. This mediation follows a decisive rejection of BHP's preliminary contract offer by the workforce.
The company proposed a bonus totaling approximately $28,900 per union member in its latest offer. BHP has yet to respond to requests for comment on the matter.
