Codelco seals early contract deal with El Teniente supervisors' union

 Chile's Codelco, the world's largest copper producer, said on Thursday it had reached an early collective bargaining agreement with the supervisors' union at its flagship El Teniente mine, avoiding the possibility of production stoppages.

Codelco said in a statement that the proposal was approved by 97% of the votes cast and will take effect from November, valid until 2026.
