Bluntly, Marcelo Mena, general secretary of the Union Association of Hierarchical, Professional and Technical Personnel of Mining Activity (Asijemin), stated that “Josemaría is not going to start in the short term in San Juan.” The mining union member’s statement is based on the fact that “I observe that the managers and authorities of the company are dissociated from reality.” This is how forceful was what the union member expressed in the note he gave to the Politics Café, a program that is broadcast from Monday to Friday, from 10 to 11, on Huarpe TV at 19.2 of the TDA, YouTube, Twitch and Kick.

Mena stated that “we are in times of a lot of speculation regarding Josemaría and the truth is that it is the worst thing that can happen to us, since it is clear that it is not going to start in the short term.” The union member expressed that “I make this statement because I have conversations with the managers and authorities where it is clear that they are very dissociated from the reality of the community in which the project is located and also from the provincial context.”

For the general secretary of Asijemin, “San Juan is not dissociated from the prevailing international context and does not have the specific weight to determine whether a project starts or not, despite this, from time to time we see that they give it a boost that generates expectations in the Sanjuaninos, but that is finally far from happening.”

The union member, who represents the hierarchical mining personnel, added that “time passes and the start date is postponed, that is why I warn that Josemaría is not going to start its gross activity in the short term, despite my wish “It’s just that it happens.” For Mena, those who are most advanced are Los Azules and Filo del Sol because “they are taking firm steps with initiative in every way, an issue that is not seen in Josemaría.”

How much does a miner from San Juan earn compared to other countries?

The general secretary of the Hierarchical Mining Union, Marcelo Mena, warned that a worker from San Juan earns “less than half of what is paid in first world countries.”

Mena said that “a senior supervisor in San Juan earns US$4,000, while in the United States or Canada for the same function they pay up to US$12,000.” Furthermore, he said that “the difference is that in the Northern countries the labor legislation is much stronger than that of San Juan and they even have stronger tax pressures than ours,” and he added that “we know this because at the mining fairs “We met with worker representatives and they told us in detail the reality of what is happening in those countries.”

Mena also said that “in the region, the country that pays the least is Peru, while Chile is the one that pays the best. Argentina is in the middle.”
