Declaration of solidarity to the workers of the Prodeco Group in Colombia

Dear friends, dear relatives, dear Igor Diaz. On behalf of the International Mineworkers' Coordination, I would like to express my heartfelt solidarity with you in the struggle against the Prodeco Group and the multinational Glencore as the sole shareholder of the Prodeco Group. You are fighting for your jobs and for the income on which your families have to live. The International Mineworkers' Coordination's Programme of Struggle states: "Today, a few international corporations control the world's extraction, processing and trade in raw materials.

The corporations exploit the miners and nature". Against these international mining monopolies and their governments, we can only become a superior force if we, together with our families, cooperate internationally and coordinate our struggles. That is why we have joined together in the International Miners' Coordination. We have been promoting the common international struggle of the miners for several years. For this purpose, we are holding our 3rd International Miners' Conference from 31.8.2023 to 3.9.2023. It will take place in Germany and we would be very happy about your participation. You will receive more information shortly. We will report about your struggle on our homepage www.minersconference.org and call for solidarity with you and your union SintraCarbon. If you send us more reports and maybe photos, we will publish them too. We wish you much strength and success in your struggle and stand side by side with you!
