Workers of Cerrejon on Strike

For five days, the 13000  workers of the largest open-pit mining company of the world have been on a total strike. No agreements have been made.

REASONS for the conflict of laborers with el CERREJON
1. - Third-party contracts

Cerrejon has approximately 13,000 employees of which 60% are hired through third-party private contractors of over 300 companies. These workers earn on average 30% less than direct workers while they are prevented to organize in unions. It should be noted that these workers have 12-hour-long days of work, when humanity for over 100 years had surpassed those days of exhausting work.

The LABOR CONFLICT IN CERREJON is part of the struggle waged by the Colombian people against multinationals working on the mining sector.
