Mine workers strike in Peru, world's No. 2 copper producer
The Associated Press
LIMA, Peru
Union workers at more than 50 mines in Peru have gone on strike to protest parts of a labor reform that they say will harm workers' rights.
Ricardo Juarez is leader of a national federation of miners. He says the strike is "indefinite" and 90 percent of unions have joined.
Juarez argued that laws approved by President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski would make it easier for mass layoffs and weaken inspection bodies.
The protest targets mining activity in the world's second-biggest copper-producing nation.
But Energy and Mines Minister Gonzalo Tamayo said Wednesday in an interview with Radioprogramas that the strike's effect "is relatively limited."

He said mine companies have back backup plans and equipment."

Quite a few mines including Trevali are non unionised and anticipate no slow down in mining production (its a shitty job - but if you look after and pay your workers well then thats fair and better long term and rewarded in return for good companies). However may have trouble moving product from mine to port - though in Trevali's case they have facilities to stockpile 2-3 months of production at mine.

Peru is also the world's second biggest zinc and silver producer, fourth biggest lead producer and sixth-biggest gold and tin producer, according to the energy and mines ministry.
