Ecopetrol SA ( (EC) ) has issued an announcement.
On December 19, 2025, Ecopetrol S.A. began an early collective bargaining process with the Unión Sindical Obrera (USO), after the union filed a complaint before Colombia’s Ministry of Labor against the current collective bargaining agreement that runs from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2025. The filing, made within the legally required 60-day window before the agreement’s expiration, triggers a formal process under the Colombian Labor Code in which Ecopetrol must first await administrative steps by the Ministry before USO presents its list of demands that will frame the negotiations; the company has indicated it will report further developments as required, signaling a potentially significant negotiation phase for labor relations and operational stability ahead of the agreement’s expiry.
The most recent analyst rating on (EC) stock is a Hold with a $8.70 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ecopetrol SA stock, see the EC Stock Forecast page.
