BOGOTA, March 3 (Reuters) - Union workers at Cerrejon, Colombia's largest coal mine, have voted in favor of a strike, the union said on Thursday, amid a dispute with the company over wages and benefits.
The Sintracarbon union has 10 days to declare the start date for the strike, leader Jairo Quiroz said.
Cerrejon is a joint venture between BHP Billiton Ltd BHP.AX BLT.L , Anglo American Plc AAL.L and Glencore Xstrata GLEN.L . It has been producing coal in Colombia since the mid-1980s under a concession that runs until 2033.
