The 33 trapped Chilean miners may not receive any wages while they are trapped underground, a union official has claimed.
Evelyn Olmos says that San Esteban, the company that operates the mine, has said it has no money to pay their wages and absorb lawsuits, and is not even participating in the rescue Mr Olmos has called on the government to pay the workers’ wages starting in September, as well as giving help to the roughly 100 other people at the mine who are now out of work and 170 more who work elsewhere for San Esteban.
