The company “goes of evil in worse”, something that comes alerting the workers

The situation in CVG Minerven follows equal. The workers who initiated this Monday days of permanent assemblies hold their position until the directive of the company - located in the Pebble them report why the agreements established in the past protest have not been fulfilled.

Carlos Rodriguez, president of the Simpro, the union of professionals in the auriferous one, indicated that from the company they have not had answers exceeds what it happens. For this 15 of April they had to receive the increase decided in October of 2010, ratified weeks back in another manifestation where they went to the CVG, in Ordaz Port.

After that protest in the Club San Luis president of Minerven Luis Herrera, with civil servants of the corporation, committed itself to fulfill the increase, the payment of cestaticket and other vindications, something that have not happened.

“We do not understand what happens, but with the increase of the minimum wage made by the President, the decided increase it is almost underneath, so we will fight they equal so that us to the minimum first and soon they apply the increase to us, because if we do not fall in the same and it cannot be. Our reality is so serious that the daily list has not received and we hoped that the monthly list does not acquire Friday, so we will receive first from May without money in the pocket”.

Spirit down
Review Rodriguez who the patience of the employees is being run out. “We continued fighting, and the worker gets tired when there are no answers, we cannot follow thus and less knowing than they are agreements of the past year that we come dragging, from which we make a call to the authorities so that they solve this situation, because he does not have real and we do not know what does with them”.

The leader of Simpro added that as a result of the protest of fallen arms, that today turns 3 days, to Minerven has been taken people to do photos to them to the demonstrators and to try to intimidate them to stop the measurement.

“We are critics because aside from which there are no answers, there is no money. It is why we summoned a march for this Friday, where to the workers and their family participate, and is that there is nothing what to celebrate first of May, we could even receive it without our payments, so we will take the Pebble with the workers”.

It added that in worse situation they are the members of a cooperative of the auriferous one, that spent three months without receiving and when they protested dismissed 80 of them. “We have a reality that cannot be hidden, we are bad, but the company neither responds nor fulfills the agreements, so we do not know what the more to hope, which yes I know is that there is a fatigue of the workers who are annoying to follow thus, removing gold without seeing which are the destinies of that money”.

Vertiginous change

Minerven in the last three years has decayed in production, of 350 kilos of gold daily happened to 80 kilos, that are what produces at present, this means a substantial backward movement, although in previous years it had overcome the barrier of the 4 annual tons, also managing to cancel a series of liabilities of previous managements.

In spite of it, the company fell again in blackberry without until now there are many explanations. Of holding company CVG Minerven she was the unique one with blue numbers from whose coffers in repeated opportunities it left money for the brother cancellation of lists of Alcasa and other companies.

Nevertheless, since the miner drew up to arrive at the goal from 8 tons from gold the situation has been getting worse progressively. In 2009 they surpassed the 4 tons of 2008, without arriving at the goal of 8 tons.

But in 2010 they less than produced 2 thousand kilos of golden metal. The union denounced that this implies a backward movement in the levels of production of 19 years, thing never before seen. The preoccupation of the working class continues growing recently before all this reality that seems to sink to the state one, until one of most profitable.
