- A powerful workers union at BHP's Escondida mine, a major global copper producer, initiates a strike to demand a larger share of profits, potentially impacting copper production and prices.

- The union, known for past successful strikes affecting global copper prices, aims to leverage its significant workforce majority, financial strength, and legal protections to negotiate with BHP.

- Despite a smaller strike at Lundin's Caserones mine and current stable copper prices, the Escondida union's demand for a share of dividends poses a significant challenge to BHP, with negotiations ongoing.
