Workers at state-owned Chilean copper mine, Codelco, have rejected a suggestion by a coalition partner of President Piñera that the company be sold off to fund the response to the pandemic. An internal document attributed to the far-right Independent Democratic Union (UDI) party and leaked to Chilean media suggested the privatization among a series of measures to raise money for the fiscus. However the Federation of Copper Workers (FTC), which groups together unions of the world’s largest copper miner, firmly rejected the measure.
