16 December, 2020Workers at Empresa Minera Los Quenuales, a subsidiary of Glencore Finance Bermuda Ltd in Peru, launched an indefinite strike on 1 December over labour violations, mainly related to health and safety during the pandemic.
The National Federation of Metal and Steel Mining Workers of Peru (FNTMMSP) say that their members worked during the pandemic, resulting in the death of seven mine workers and 700 being infected by the virus.
The union took action as management did not respond to their demands. For example, workers are criticizing Glencore for accommodating workers in shared rooms with a common bathroom making social distancing impossible.
