Averting a strike at Spence, which last year churned out about 250,000 metric tons, eases tensions in a busy schedule of collective bargaining in Chile at a time when high copper prices are swelling producer profits and inflating wage expectations of their workers. Attention now turns to BHP’s other Chilean operation, Escondida, which is more than four times the size of Spence and has been the scene of lengthy strikes in the past.
