Beginning in 1975, mining workers in the central region of Peru began a new process of demonstrations and labor demands. This movement arose in response to existing labor conditions and marked the beginning of a new stage in mining union organization. The workers mainly demanded the leveling of their salaries and other labor benefits that they considered necessary. This period of workers' mobilization would last for several years and would be particularly intense between 1986 and 1989, when political violence would severely affect the mining sector.
