Thousands of direct and indirect employees of municipalities of the south that toil for the national and deprived mining companies are to the expectation reason why it can occur in the sector.

In the last months the protests and the difficulties have extended, although the golden metal is in one of the best historical moments with prices that make super the business profitable.

Although the Ministry of Basic Industries and Mining had announced in a 2008 reorganization with benefits for all, this follows without being fulfilled and as much employees now fixed as informal miners who aspire to enter to a company fear that the announcements only remain in paper, while under the Earth there is a incalculable wealth that could mitigate the situation of great necessity of the inhabitants.

Between this uncertainty it is Cristinas, considered one of richest of Latin America, and that after the official exit of transnational the Canadian Crystallex nothing else has been known.

The State has not announced which will be its destiny nor how will be organized the activity in the zone, that in its majority is illegal and causes irreparable damages to the atmosphere and to the health.

He is for that reason that the employees of the sector send a SOS before the crisis more is accentuated and the prices of gold begin to lower making the investments in this heading more difficult, that more than benefits during years has brought misery to the towns by the mistaken handling of the wealth.
