SANTIAGO, July 10 (Reuters) - Workers at the Zaldivar copper mine in Chile, owned by Antofagasta ANTO.L and Barrick Gold Corp ABX.TO, voted to approve a strike on Monday after talks with the company failed, a union leader told Reuters.
The workers will not walk off immediately, however. Rather, there will be a government mediation period that will last at least five days before workers are legally permitted to down tools.
