Chilean copper miners strike over reform plans

  • 13 years ago
Chilean miners hurled slogans against President Sebastian Pinera's government during a one-day strike Monday to protest plans they say will move the world's largest copper company, Codelco, toward privatization. The Federation of Copper Workers, which represents 15,000 of the company's 20,000 employees, called for the strike, which will be the company's first in 18 years.Duration: 00:30
