Workers at Glencore International Plc’s Prodeco Group said they will resume negotiations next week in a bid to avert a strike over wages and benefits.
Workers at the La Jagua coal mine in the northern Colombian province of Cesar completed a two-day vote today authorizing a strike, said Estevenson Avila, vice president of a workers’ group known as Funtraenergetica, in a telephone interview. Union negotiators want further talks before setting a date for a walkout that would halt coal production at the mine, according to Avila.
