Message from the author of the book: Francisco Ramírez Cuellar, President SINTRAMINERCOL, General Secretary FUNTRAENERGETICA
Neither have the attacks on our union ceased. The government , at the behest of the mining multinationals has ordered the closure of the state mining company Minercol which we work for. This company regulates the mining industry, regulation will pass into the hands of local authorities that are notoriously corrupt and the mining companies themselves. Our union will aslo cease to exist. It is our union that has fought tooth and nail against the hand over of our natural resources to the lowest bidder and our union which has fought to expose the murder and massacres that take place in mining areas. The aim is to remove a voice which places obstacles in the path of the mulinationals.
