COLOMBIA MINER ACCIDENT OCT 2010 PT 2

Colombian coal miners vote for strike
On January 27, workers at the Cerrejon mining complex in Guajira voted overwhelming in favor of a walkout as negotiations for a new labor agreement have dragged on without results. The complex is north of the La Preciosa mine—where a January 26 explosion killed 21 mineworkers.
According to a Reuters report, under Colombia’s repressive labor laws, workers “are not allowed to stage a walkout in the first two days after a vote, nor on the last day of a mandatory 10-day period. After that, workers would need to take another strike vote. The union will hold a meeting on Saturday to ratify the strike vote, but it will be a syndicate committee that will decide on the timing of any walkout—which can only happen between Jan. 30 and Feb. 6.”
The main issues in dispute are a salary increase—with the union counterpoising a nine percent raise to 9 percent to management’s 6 percent proposal—a signing bonus and other bonuses for meeting production targets.
Cerrejon, which is jointly owned by mining giants Xstrata PLC, Anglo American PLC and BHP Billiton, is Colombia’s largest mining company, accounting for about one third of total coal production and export.
