Crystallex International Corporation is a Canadian-based gold company with a successful record of developing and operating gold mines in Venezuela and elsewhere in South America
to all, i've read and re-read this article and the more i read it the less convinced i am that there was any sort of protest...i think the picture is a "stock photo" from an earlier event and it really sounds like a union leader (one i'm not familiar with) trying to get some free bene's from kry's current situation......theres no mention of a gathering or protest...just a caption saying "miners have protested in the past" under the picture....what are your thoughts? why would a bunch of laborers from revemin travel to LC to protest.....i think this whole article stems from 1 guy..

“We want to exhort the minister of Basic Industries and Mining, Rodolfo Sanz, not to of the sort reach an agreement with the transnational group Crystallex on mixed company or something since that would imply that this group, that the unique thing that has done during all their trajectory it is to fatten his actions in stock-market of values in Toronto (Canada), mistreats to the workers in the plant Remevin II”. It indicated the leader who “this passes in the project the Cristinas (the Claritas), that in our opinion also would have to be recovered to put itself to the service of this region that needs as much it, before it follows in his ominous practice”. For Ramirez there are no excuses about Crystallex, “is not justified that during 21 years, that have these companies operating in the national deposit - the Cristinas-, not even sees by no side a social work. Rather they have reduced the lists of workers to the minimum and every day they try to clear the few benefits to us that we have left”. On the other hand, the affected ones reveal that it exists within this company, “the bad practice of tercerizar the working personnel in order to evade all class of responsibility, being begun not to pay not even Surely Social, demonstrating to them with these aberrant practices that to these transnational companies to only interest to take all our wealth them to the smaller possible cost, without concerning the standard of life to him of their workers, much less the social problems of their environs”. “At the moment we have a rosary of problems and reclamations of norms that the company to all critical moment tries to not know like for example, the situation of insecurity in the plant already is alarming, does not cancel ticket to them of foods to the workers in rest, even though this one is forced, the workers must make all class maneuvers to arrive at its places of work, since they do not count on a supply route in the Pebble, exposing itself to all class of danger in the turns nocturnes”, it said as far as Remevin and Crystallex, reason why they ask to the Mibam to put eye before there is a conflict.
