We, the miners, have worked for many years with patience and solidarity for our enterprise, hoping that the situation would improve, and we have refrained from requesting wage increases, even though other sectors have experienced adjustments and improvements. Now that the government has announced salary increases for public sector workers and promised a 13th salary, it is both normal and fair that the management of our enterprise takes concrete steps to raise miners\u2019 wages,\u201d states the reaction of the Independent Miners\u2019 Union at Trep\u00e7a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the union, during the past year there has been a noticeable increase in production, which is a direct result of the workers\u2019 dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis success would not have happened without the commitment of the miners. Therefore, we demand that our work be rewarded with wage increases, just like in other public and private sectors,\u201d the statement continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The miners warn that they risk their lives and health every day in difficult working conditions, often without sufficient protective equipment and without a specific law to safeguard them.
