John A. McCarthy of United Metals Selling company explains that copper sale contracts include strike clauses that suspend delivery and cancel obligations if miners strike or other disruptions prevent output. He notes the practice has existed for two decades and that the Anaconda company’s output is sold through United Metals, shielding firms from financial loss during strikes while the government may respond officially.
