  • BHP Billiton (LON:BLT) (BHP +1.1%) says the union representing its workers at the Escondida copper mine in Chile has kicked off the latest round of labor negotiations with a contract proposal that includes a ~$34K bonus per worker, equivalent to 4% of dividends distributed to shareholders last year.
  • The closely watched talks come a year after a failure to reach a labor deal at the mine led to a 44-day strike, which ended after workers invoked a legal provision allowing them to extend their existing contract by 18 months, through July 31, 2018.
