Union workers and Cerrejon LLC, Colombia’s largest coal miner, on Monday reportedly reached a tenuous agreement.
“After arduous negotiations…the Sintracarbon (union) commission and Cerrejon have built agreements to govern the 2013 – 2014 Collective Bargaining Agreement, if they are approved by Sintracarbon’s members,” read a statement from the union which represents about 5,000 workers.
The miners went on strike on February 7
