A group of 33 women has taken over the coal mine Chiflón del Diablo in Lota, close to Santiago de Chile.
The group is protesting massive layoffs from the Military Job Corps, and have threatened to start a hunger strike 3000 feet below ground, if their jobs are not restored.
The women descended this morning, and locked themselves at the heart of the mine, currently a tourist attraction. They decided to come down as a group of 33, seeking to pressure the government into responding to them the same way they responded to the miners of San José.
Reports indicate there are hundreds of supporters and sympathizers protesting and rallying outside the mine.
Javier Matamala, who is in charge of the mine said this act must end in a pacific way, to avoid damages to this historic location
More than 8,000 people have lost their jobs since the end of the employment stimulus program implemented by the government following Februarys Earthquake.
Hey nully are you thinking of flying out there to comfort those distessed damsels.
Keep her coming...straighten up a little...back...back...HO...that'll do it...
Swing that trough around...that's good...
...OK...start the concrete...sluooosh...
How much you want to bet that these women are NOT the sort that any man would want to sleep with?
True ....
It’s dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the danger is double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It’s dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
Two thoughts on this one:
First, it’s an odd thing to do in a country that just finished working for months to rescue miners trapped deep underground in a cave-in.
Second, “out of sight, out of mind!”

You know I haven’t actually seen a picture of the men from the mine.
What a waste.
