Chile: Copper Miner Shot Dead During Ongoing Labor Strike 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
In Chile, a copper miner was shot dead Friday during an ongoing strike
at the state-owned mining company Codelco, one of the world's largest
copper-mining companies. The strike began last week after subcontracted
workers launched a work stoppage at five mines, demanding the right to
collective bargaining. The miners' union has accused the police of
Friday's fatal shooting.
