Workers at Codelco's Radomiro Tomic mine reject contract offer

A union representing the majority of workers at Codelco's Radomiro Tomic mine, in Chile, has rejected a final offer for a new labor contract, forcing a period of government-facilitated mediation, the company said on Thursday. The union, part of state miner Codelco's Northern Division, has 744 members, the majority of the mine's workers.
