Executives from Chilean copper mining company Dona Ines de Collahuasi and leaders representing striking union members met Monday to resume stalled contract talks, a Catholic Church leader said.

The strike, which on Monday entered its 25th day, hasn't shut down the mine as it has been operating under a contingency plan.

"We hope that both sides can reach a collective bargaining agreement, so as to re-establish normal conditions for all those involved," Iquique Bishop Marco Ordenes said in a statement.

A person close to the negotiations, who asked to remain unnamed, said representatives from both sides briefly met earlier Monday and that full-fledged negotiations would likely start later in the evening.
