Chilean Miners. Great They Are Out. What Now?![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Chilean miners should now lead militant campaign to organize the unorganized in chile and internationally. The mine owners were so greedy for profits they would not put in the proper safety safeguards and this is why the miners were trapped in the first place. The right wing in Chile are trying to exploit the popularity of the miners. see the right wing president at the rescue site. but it was the right wing who supported their hero the dictator Pinochet who slaughtered tens of thousands of union and left activists. if this had not happened the miners union might have been strong enough to enforce safe conditions in the mine and not been trapped in the first place.
