Chile: Mining contract worker shot dead by police during strike against copper company Codelco
In the midst of violent incidents involving Codelco’s contractors that started a strike in northern Chile, a mining worker was shot dead allegedly by the national police. The main workers’ confederation asks for equal payments and benefits to all workers of mining projects, including Codelco’s copper mines. The company regretted this killing (Spanish) and welcomed the dialogue proposed by the Association of Mining contractors to end with violence in the mining sites (Spanish).
