智利安托法加斯塔公司（Antofagasta Plc）旗下森蒂纳铜矿工人周六投票接受新的工资报价，表明一场曾威胁在全球供应紧张时期扰乱生产的罢工即将结束。
Workers at Antofagasta Plc’s Centinela copper mine in Chile voted Saturday to accept a new wage offer, signaling the end of a strike that had threatened to disrupt production at a time of tight global supplies.
两个自10月7日起罢工的工会成员在接受短信采访时表示，他们批准了安托法加斯塔的最新提议。合同签署后，罢工将告终。
Members of two unions that had been on strike since Oct. 7 approved Antofagasta’s latest proposal, a union official said in text messages. Once contracts are signed, the stoppage would conclude.
此协议的达成恰逢必和必拓集团（BHP Group）埃斯康迪达矿超过1000名监督人员和员工几天前接受最后时刻协议、避免全球最大铜矿罢工之后。这两项协议缓解了人们对供应中断的担忧，而此时生产商正努力跟上需求增长的步伐。
The agreement comes days after more than 1,000 supervisors and staff at BHP Group’s Escondida accepted a last-minute deal that averted a walkout at the world’s biggest copper mine. The two settlements ease concerns over supply disruptions just as producers struggle to keep pace with growing demand.
森蒂纳罢工的结束为智利铜业移除了一个隐患，尽管问题仍然众多。作为全球最大铜生产国，智利的产量一直受到事故、恶劣天气和运营挫折的冲击，导致全球供应紧张。
The end of the Centinela strike removes one headache for Chile’s copper industry, though plenty remain. Output in the top-producing country has been battered by accidents, severe weather and operational setbacks, contributing to constrained global supplies.
与此同时，关税威胁正促使金属流入美国仓库，而用于电网和数据中心的铜需求正在激增，金属价格正逼近历史高点。
At the same time, the threat of tariffs is drawing metal into US warehouses, while demand for copper used in power grids and data centers is surging, with the metal trading near record highs.
森蒂纳的两个工会代表约700名工人，在常规集体谈判未能解决工资和福利分歧后发起了罢工。该矿是安托法加斯塔在智利的四个采矿作业之一，去年产铜240,400公吨。
The two Centinela unions, representing about 700 workers, began their strike after regular collective negotiations failed to resolve differences over pay and benefits. The site, one of Antofagasta’s four mining operations in Chile, produced 240,400 metric tons of copper last year.
