圣地亚哥,10月13日 - 智利森蒂内拉铜矿和两个罢工工会周二在自愿调解程序下重返谈判桌,旨在解决持续一周的工作停摆,工人称该停摆正在影响运营。
SANTIAGO, Oct 13 - Chile's Centinela copper mine and two striking unions returned to the negotiating table on Tuesday under a voluntary mediation process aimed at resolving a week-long work stoppage that workers say is affecting operations.
Distrito Centinela工会和Minera Esperanza工会上周三开始停摆,此前与矿山所有者安托法加斯塔矿业的集体合同谈判破裂。工会要求所有工人享有平等福利,无论其工会归属如何。
The Distrito Centinela and Minera Esperanza unions began the stoppage last Wednesday after collective contract negotiations with mine owner Antofagasta Minerals failed. The unions are seeking equal benefits for all workers, regardless of union affiliation.
工会在一份声明中表示:“关于运营活动,工会能够获取的报告证实存在直接影响”,并补充称,由于罢工,矿山运营的卡车数量减半。
"Regarding operational activity, the reports the unions have had access to confirm a direct impact," the unions said in a statement, adding that the number of trucks operating at the mine had been cut in half because of the strike.
Distrito Centinela工会和Minera Esperanza工会称,其成员占关键矿山操作人员(包括铲车和钻机操作员)的50%以上,以及矿山设备维护工人的60%以上。
The Distrito Centinela and Minera Esperanza unions say their members account for more than 50% of the critical mine operators, including shovel and drill operators, and more than 60% of mining equipment maintenance workers.
据工会称,罢工的全部影响预计将在11月显现,届时产量可能减半。
According to the unions, the full impact of the strike is expected to be felt in November, when production could fall by half.
罢工开始时,安托法加斯塔矿业表示,罢工工人占矿山总劳动力的22%,并预计产量将保持不变。
When the strike began, Antofagasta Minerals said the striking workers accounted for 22% of the mine's total workforce and projected production would remain unchanged.
