Police detain 14 mining leaders
The police entered the premises of the National Federation of Mineworkers and arrested 14 leaders, empowering the company to fire workers who participate in illegal strikes.
On October 21, 1988, the police entered the premises of the National Federation of Mine Workers and arrested 14 leaders. This police action took place in the context of a national strike called by the CGTP on October 13 in protest against the government's economic measures. In addition to the arrests, the police intervention empowered the company to dismiss workers participating in strikes considered illegal. This was part of the government's repression of social and union movements during the Alan García Pérez administration.
