SANTIAGO, June 14 (Reuters) - The union representing workers at BHP's (BHP) Spence copper mine in Chile has accepted a contract proposal by the company on Friday, two sources close to the negotiations said, averting the risk of a strike.
Earlier this week, workers and the firm reached an initial agreement that required a vote by union members to go into effect.
The union represents more than 1,100 workers at the copper mine located in northern Chile. Their previous collective agreement expired on May 31.
BHP had previously said that the Spence mine, which produced 249,000 metric tons of copper last year, was operating as normal while the firm works to seek an amicable solution with the union.
Chile is the world's largest copper producer.
