Following a strike that lasted 33 days, unionized workers at Chilean copper mine Dona Ines de Collahuasi will begin returning to work at the start of the evening shift Tuesday, the company said.

On Monday, workers voted in favor of the company's contract offer, ending one of the longest strikes in the Chilean mining sector.

"The agreement that was ratified with the signatures of the Union's board members provides that each worker will receive a bonus of 12 million pesos [$25,168] and an interest-free loan of 2 million pesos in addition to diverse benefits in education, housing and health, plus a base salary adjustment of 3.25%," the company said in a statement, adding that workers agreed to a 42-month contract.
