The union representing workers at Capstone Copper’s Mantoverde copper and gold mine in northern Chile on Thursday urged workers to reject a contract offer from the firm and prolong a strike that began in early January.

The mine on Wednesday presented a new offer to workers, which the union said was worse than a previous proposal. Employees will vote on the deal on Friday.
