From the article:
"Escondida's workers clinched a new contract agreement in January, at the time easing fears of labor unrest at the mine."

So much for ever satisfying union leaders!

I think we just figured out where Rob is posting from.... ;-)

  As a member of IAM local 751 I have benefited from the union contract. These guys agreed to a contract in January. They should honor it.

  Good OPSEC observation. You get a one-day pass for your efforts. Report back at 0400 for PT. =P

        How about 'sick call'? That usually bought you about 3.5 hours of sanity...before you were certified for additional torture....

I read it to see if see if a wealthy individual just made a sizable investment in the company.
