El Callao .- The workers grouped in the union Untramigua, rejected
the protest actions that maintains a group of miners who insist on
keeping the ramp to the company PMG closed as a protest for alleged unfulfilled agreements.
Douglas Robles, secretary general of the union asked the minister
Rodolfo Sanz, and the labor minister, Roberto Hernandez, "for which apersonen to the conflict to keep the doors of Promotora Minera Guayan, where we are right to impede the free work. So we are being directly affected 578 men and women and that indirectly affects about 1,500 workers. We ask that the minister's strikingly Mibam, the responses needed to avoid an intolerance to prevail and the idleness with this type of action that far from resolving a situation it does is muddy the picture of a company and some workers who want to throw this country forward. "
The Trade Union leader stressed that "what we want is that it allows us to enter our jobs as mandated by law, for which we are losing wages and the company also because the end no one takes
responsibility for such losses that are worth millions . If these
actions continue we will lose our bonus production, we have
understood that if the company PMG has complied with all the small miners who have demanded their liabilities. The attention to this problem has to come from the government, here every time it happens to someone lock a way to do this and this can not continue happening in this country by the effects of this type of situation is irreversible since point of view of the losses, "said Robles.
He insisted on drawing attention to the minister's job to safeguard
through a decision, the right to work of employees of the company
PMG. "You must respond and provide compelling solutions to end this conflict."
Meanwhile, Jose Gregorio Lozada, said he was concerned about how he escaped the hands of certain situations to the government. "Every day there is anarchy at the entrance to the premises of the company where we serve, we are parents who need to work to keep our homes, the government with all its ministries had failed to respond to these miners who are also entitled to their claims but the path is not curtail the right to work for others. Our intention is not to confront with the small miners, but they understand that we have achieved the right to work as mandated by law and they must be given the responses indicated at the right time, ultimately what we require is that we move to stop can not eat that do not work and therefore do not charge not eat this week or not our children, "said Lozada.
