Quote:In the meantime, the chief of the San José union, Evelyn Olmos, asked the government to assume San Esteban Primera's payroll responsibilities, so that "the company is in debt to the government, but not to the workers."Of course they can. 1. The laws can be changed and 2. if the company is going bankrupt anyway the government can nationalise it and take over operation and staff. But I think they'd rather fuck the miners over for the cost of their own rescue instead of doing the right thing.
A labor ministry subsecretary, Bruno Baranda, replied that the government "cannot legally, within the regulations, take over labor responsibilities such as paying salary or pension benefits." He and other government officials said the government had planned to offer the miners training and assistance in finding other jobs.
