A deal between workers and the companies that own the Collahuasi copper mine in northern Chile could mean labour peace at the often-picketed mine for the next three years.<\/p>\n

Under a labour agreement reached Friday, workers in the 1,485-member union will receive no pay increase but each worker will get a one-time bonus of 11 million pesos (US$16,400), along with an interest free loan, Reuters reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The agreement starts in October, when the current contract expires, and will last until 2020. The mine, co-owned by Glencore (LON:GLEN) and Anglo American (LON:AAL), is the second largest copper mine in the world<\/a> and one of Chile’s largest, producing 506,500 tonnes of the red metal in 2016.<\/p>\n

The four-year deal reached in 2013<\/a> gave workers a 3.5% salary hike, a $31,900 bonus and a loan worth $6,000. Collahuasi miners staged a 24-hour walkout<\/a> in 2015.<\/p>\n

Friday’s agreement comes about six weeks after talks between striking workers at the Escondida copper mine in Chile and majority owner and operator BHP Billiton (ASX, NYSE:BHP) (LON:BLT), ended March 23 with the parties failing to reach a deal and the main union choosing to return to work.<\/p>\n

The labour action at the world’s largest copper mine, which finished after 43 days, became the longest private-sector mining strike in Chile’s history.<\/p>\n
