(en) Chile, Statement of Libertarian Students Front of Iquiq in support of Mejillones dockworkers (ca)

Faced with the paralyzing the Mejillones port workers, solidarity and action of most of 
the country dockworkers joined in Port Union of Chile, as Libertarian Students 
Front-Section Iquique, we stated: ---- In the last week, we have witnessed a clear example 
of struggle and solidarity from Chile dockworkers. Given this, and students committed to 
the interests of all the exploited, we can not be oblivious to the struggle they are 
giving dockworkers Mejillones, which require minimum rest and sustenance in power. 
Specifically, their demands have translated into half time snack, a casino to develop that 
activity, and while the work is constructed, a $ 4,000 per shift to allow them to afford 
lunch after a heavy day's work. They demand an improvement in communications with the 
company UltraPort, which is known for its hegemony in the port sector in the north and its 
repeated failures and violations of labor rights established.

Given these facts, and given the limited media coverage by the mainstream media, we 
express our full support to the port of Mejillones peers and the rest of the country, who 
through a concrete expression of class unionism, have achieved reduce legal obstacles set 
by the Labor Plan Jos? Pi?era in Dictatorship, and that, to this day, remain in place 
through the consent of the political class in general.

In turn, we can not ignore the great gesture of solidarity that are giving the port of 
Iquique companions, who have paralyzed the port as a whole. In this regard, strongly 
sympathize with the gesture given by fellow port city and urge all students committed to 
the interests of the oppressed, to support this exemplary struggle. At the same time, we 
extend the call to all the people of Chile, that by following the steps taken in recent 
years, still has a long way to go in the arduous task of unifying our class, with this 
situation, a clear opportunity to strengthen linkages between different sectors in struggle.

No big changes without a great struggle!

FIGHT WITHOUT ANY SOLIDARITY!

We continue to build decent people SOVEREIGN!
