Bulqize, miners protest continues

25/08/2011 10:45

Bulqize miners continued their protest, which is breaking a new record as
the longest strike. The leaders of the syndications declared that ACR
has time until this Monday to fulfill the miners requests, and after
this deadline, the protest will escalate.

The protesters are staying in front of ACR Company premises, waiting for their demands to be met.

The situation stalled due to some details about the dialogue procedures, with which none of parties seems to comply, and not for the requests that the miners have presented.

The administrator of this company visited the mine some days ago, and despite his efforts, he was unable to convince the miners to sit on dialogue tables.

The company has as a nonnegotiable condition; the exclusion of syndication representatives in the dialogue, while the miners want to be represented by the syndication for any agreement.

All of this is happening while the company is declaring that they accepted the requests that were presented by the miners, such as the 20% wage increase.
