The mining international cartel controlled by Wall Street and London must pay for its crimes and plunder against the oppressed working class of the world
Yesterday massacring the striker workers and today killing those who –as slaves- extract wealth from the mines
3 miners trapped at Lily Mine in Barberton, Mpumalanga in South Africa
since the structural pillar collapsed on 5 February 2016 and 73 miners
were rescued. The thought of the 3 miners trapped underground at the
mine is becoming unbearable for the families and friends.
South Africa’s mines are the deepest and among the most dangerous in
the world. Fatalities in the industry have been falling due to both
improved safety practices and a reduction in the labour force as
production declines.
This came in at a time when The world miners still ask for justice for
our comrades killed in Marikana, for our class brothers of Peru and
for Nelson Quichillao, a new martyr of the mining proletariat and the
whole world working class. But the miners and the world working class
today have an ally undeniable, the heroic Donbass miners that in
Ukraine keep resisting with their militias the attempt of the
imperialism and the Ukrainian government of privatized the mines in
the East of the country despite and against the agreement of
disarmament and giving up their fight signed by Poroshenko government,
Merkel of Germany, the hitman Putin an butcher Obama.
In 2011 four workers have been killed and 10 were trapped underground
after a blast at a coal mine in northern Mexico. In 2006, more than 65
miners died in a similar accident in the same region in one of
Mexico's worst mining disasters.
Today the imperialist MNCs have advanced to be at the offensive
against the miners all around the world to make them pay the crisis
costs by dismissing thousands of workers, cutting of workers ‘gains,
sinking of the salary and even more slavering and super-exploitation
conditions.
The imperialist pirates always want to win…
It`s time the world working class and oppressed people win! For a
single international battle of the working class against the
plunderers of the oppressed people’s wealth!
We call for an international fight to stop the attack of the
imperialist mining companies.
For a single struggle side by side our class brothers of Peru,
Bolivia, Argentina, Mexican and Colombia against the imperialism, is
MNCs, and lackey governments, together with the miners of the Southern
Africa and Donbass miners!
All miners trapped are our comrades, to be able to live decently, to
eat to guarantee salary of R12.500, to guarantee none dismissal we
call Not tp die in the mines for the bad conditions due to the thirst
of profit on the part of TNCs.
Our war cry demand is to renationalization without payment and under
worker control of copper.
Expropriate without payment and under worker control of all the
imperialist mining companies!
For the working class to live, the imperialism must die!
