SANTIAGO, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Machinery contractor Finning said in a statement late on Saturday it had reached a labor agreement with striking workers, ending a blockade of the access road to Chile's Escondida and Zaldivar copper mines.

Members of Union No. 2 at Finning FTT.TO had been on strike since the beginning of the month, and had launched intermittent blocks in the La Negra industrial sector and on the road leading to BHP's Escondida mine and Antofagasta Minerals' ANTO.L Zaldivar mine.
