Four miners were injured and another lost his life in the first three months of 2021.
The suspension of work at the refinery derives from constant changes of management.

"Forming new democratic unions directly by workers is the best answer."
"The unionism that appeared in Bulqiza brings hope and some fairer alternatives."
