Escondida union and BHP to go ahead with meeting on Monday

SANTIAGO, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Striking workers at Chilean copper mine Escondida and mine owner BHP Billiton (NYSE: BBL - news) will go ahead with a meeting on Monday afternoon, the union told Reuters.

The government had invited the two sides to meet to try to find a way forward after a 12-day strike at the world's biggest copper mine. But there had been doubts as to whether the meeting would happen after the company stipulated conditions. (Reporting by Fabian Cambero; Editing by Leslie Adler)
