The World Federation of Trade Unions representing currently 92 million workers in 126 countries convey its fraternal salutation and extends its solidarity to the 73 mineworkers of the privatized mine Santa Ana in Chile who are conducting their fair strike 700 meters underground.

The WFTU joins its voice with the workers and demands from the ownership the full payment for their days of work and the full compensation of the mineworkers despite the closure of the mine and its transfer to other owners.

The WFTU steadfastly denounces the privatization of the natural resources and the strategic sectors of the economy and calls the working class in every country with internationalist solidarity to struggle for its own rights and interests against the monopolies and the capitalist exploitation.
