1. WISCONSIN: Toxic Tommy Drags Heels on Mining Moratorium
From: ResEnergy <ResEnergy@aol.com>
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 1998 20:53:57 EST
CALL TO ACTION!
WHAT?
It has been over a month since the legislature overwhelmingly passed
SB-3
-- the Metallic Mining Moratorium Bill. Since that time, Tommy
Thompson
has come out with a string of excuses about this bill: "I've referred
it to
my 'Science Advisory Board,' " "I'm Thinking of signing it," "I want
to
consult with 'my advisors.' " etc. BUT HE STILL HASN'T
SIGNED IT!
WHY?
He is stalling to make it look like his side wasn't beaten so badly.
He wants the moratorium to be the only issue we and the press pay attention
to while his cronies gut the rest of the mining regulations.
With every press statement he makes on the issue, he is further defining
the issues in his own terms.
It could well be that he does not plan to sign the bill at all and
is just
waiting for an opportune time to veto it when people are otherwise
distracted.
There are suspicions that the Governor will delay until April 30 and
veto
the bill when the legislature will be unable to override the veto (even
though there is clearly sufficient support for the bill to override).
We, in turn, have been complacent.
Our victory celebrations are premature.
We still must be vigilant .
We've got to pressure the governor to sign the bill.
We've also got to pressure those (mostly) Republican Assembly
Representatives, who are claiming they (eventually) supported a strong
moratorium to come forth, and encourage the Governor to sign.
This is also an ideal opportunity to keep the larger issue of metallic
mining before the public.
SO?
We need letters...lots of letters:
To The Governor.
To our legislators (especially those republicans who are claiming support
for the bill) demanding a response!
To our memberships
And most important of all: TO OUR NEWSPAPERS - both local and statewide.
HOW?
We are circulating this call-to-action to our immediate friends and
through
the internet, but not everybody has e-mail.
PLEASE: take this message, copy it, embellish it with your own
observations, and share it with your friends--especially those who
you know
from the past are regular letter writers. We want to see
letter-to-the-editor in every paper in the State.
TALKING POINTS:
We are outraged at the delay
The people spoke, the legislature spoke: there is no justification
for delay.
Almost all lawmakers finally voted for the bill after attempts in both
houses to gut the bill.
Both the state Senate and Assembly overwhelmingly passed SB 3, the
Mining
Moratorium bill.
Petitions with over 40,000 names have been presented to the Legislature
in
support of the bill.
Almost every major conservation and environmental group across the
state
has supported this legislation.
He's playing games.
He's dragging his feet and not responding to the will of the people.
He's been repudiated by his 'select science committee.' This
is not a
science question. It is policy question and the people have spoken
as to
what they, want this policy to be.
We demand our representatives (especially Assembly Republicans claiming
their support for the bill) to write the Governor asking him to sign
the
bill NOW!
If he doesn't sign before March 25, he can expect see direct actions
all
across the state.
If he and his legislative cronies fail to respond to this action, they
WILL
hear about during next fall's elections.
AND FINALLY
Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard for passage of the Mining
Moratorium Bill! Our successes so far are due to our unwillingness
to give
up in the face of millions of dollars spent by the mining industry
on
lobbying and public relations campaigns. But our job's not done
yet.
Governor Thompson needs our encouragement to make the correct
decision and
sign SB 3 into law. Call, write, e-mail or fax Governor Thompson
with your
message.
Call the Governor's office at:
608-266-1212
fax: 608-267-8983
e-mail: wisgov@mail.state.wi.us
or mail: Room 115 East, State Capitol, Madison, WI 53702.
AND GET THE ISSUE BACK INTO YOUR LOCAL AND REGIONAL PRESS!

2. Canadian mines in Nicaragua

Subject: Canadian mines in Nicaragua
"Two thirds of global mining projects are financed out of Toronto or
Vancouver, according to estimates by the Prospectors and Developers
Association of Canada.
... there are as many as 500 Canadian firms grubbing for precious metals
and gems, and drilling for oil and gas from Argentina to Zaire. And,
as
they move into more and more troubled countries, their business practices
are attracting more and more attention. "
- Ian Mulgrew, "Gunning for Business", Vancouver Sun, January 30, 1998
THE SECOND BOOM: CANADIAN COMPANIES TAKEOVER MINING IN NICARAGUA
The two Canadian mining giants Falconbridge and Noranda dominated
Nicaragua's gold production until they left the country in 1972 and
1979
respectively.
Under the Sandinistas the major gold mines in northwestern, northeastern
and central Nicaragua were nationalized, and in some cases conceded
to
independent miners' cooperatives.
Today Canadian companies have moved back in and see very big profits
to be
made. High concentrations of gold and copper and "cheap production
costs"
in Nicaragua, have attracted Greenstone Resources Ltd, Triton Mining
Corporation (now a subsidiary of Black Hawk Mining Co), Focal Resources
and
High River Gold Mines ltd. Based in Toronto, Alberta and British Columbia,
these companies have created Nicaraguan subsidiaries,and are exploiting
thousands of square kilometres in open-pit gold mining, exploratory
drilling, geological sampling and mapping.
Under President Chamorro in the 1990's, two important legal processes
were
put into place allowing for the Canadian takeover : The privatization
of
government-owned industry and natural resources, and the passing of
laws
allowing foreign interests 100% ownership of Nicaraguan companies.
Although the independent miners' cooperatives and unions incorporated
themselves and bid to purchase the mining concessions that came up
for sale
under privatization, the government preferred to sell out to the Canadian
multinationals.
The old Noranda-owned Limon and La India Mines, have been taken over
by
Triton of Toronto. The El Limon mine, reopened since 1994, produced
48,600
ounces of gold in 1997, and expects to produce 55,000 ounces in 1998.
Explorations around the old La India minesite continue and reveal gold
and
other mineral deposits.
Greenstone Resources of Toronto owns all of Falconbridge's old mining
properties, as well as adjacent exploration sites in the Siuna, Rosita
and
Bonanza triangle in northeastern Nicaragua. Greenstone's "super-pit"
gold
mine in La Libertad, Chontales is expanding as more gold is discovered,
and
is already the largest gold mining operation in Central America. The
initial construction of this mine in 1995-96, included the controversial
levelling of a mountain called Cerro Mojon, thus destroying the main
water
sources and forests of the area.
Focal and Black Hawk own concessions under construction in Santo Domingo,
Chontales, where the company has angered the community by not consulting
the municipal Council on their activities, as well as denying local
small
miners their legal rights to continue exploiting the area. Focal
also has
exploration properties in the Waspuk-Wawa watershed, which is located
near
the Bosawas forest preserve and in Indigenous Sumu and Miskito territory.
Focal's activities have already caused some siltification in the major
waterways of the area.
Open-pit gold and copper mining, using cyanide leaching to remove the
prescious metals from ore, are a new phenomenon in the tropical climates
of
Central America, and the frenzy of mining activity is being spearheaded
by
Canadian corporations. In Nicaragua as in other Central American countries,
coalitions of concerned citizens, NGO's, environmentalists, labour
movements and indigenous groups are demanding more say in the exploitation
of their lands by foreign companies. Concerns that have been raised
are
toxic cyanide and heavy metals leaking into the environment, health
and
security standards for workers in the mines, as well as their rights
to
social benefits and collective agreements. There have been extensive
labour
negotiations and a strike last summer at el Limon. There are allegations
of
widespread mismanagement of explosives and transportation, and the
use of
unsafe or obsolete technologies.
Exploration and mining require crushing and moving tonnes of earth ("ore").
The outcome is deforestation, desertification, siltification of lakes
and
rivers and the releasing of heavy metals and toxic chemicals into the
environment. And all this to extract only a couple of grams of precious
metal per tonne of ore! This means literally millions of tonnes of
displaced earth in Nicaragua every year.
After a lifespan of about 10-30 years (depending on subsequent exploration)
the mine closes, the local company dissolves, and the parent company
in
Canada moves onto the next goldfield. In Nicaragua, there are no laws
yet
in place to deal with the prevention or consequences of environmental
destruction and the health hazards brought on by large-scale mining
activities.

Interest group wants one review of Voisey's Bay project
VANCOUVER -- There should be only one environmental review
of the Voisey's Bay nickel development in Newfoundland, a
lawyer for a public interest group said yesterday.
The federal and Newfoundland governments plan separate
hearings into the mining and smelting aspects of the mine.
``The strategy of splitting the project reduces the
opportunity for a comprehensive public review,'' Rodney
Northey told Justice Andrew MacKay in Federal Court.
``The Voisey's Bay nickel development should be treated as
one integrated nickel project under the federal
Environmental Assessment Act.''
Mr. Northey, acting for the Citizen's Mining Council of St.
John's, Nfld., said a four-party memorandum of understanding
between the federal and Newfoundland governments, the Innu
and Inuit calls for the mining and milling aspects of
Voisey's Bay to be reviewed by a panel of independent
experts. But the smelting and refining aspects of the
project will only be reviewed under Newfoundland
environmental legislation by provincial government
bureaucrats.
``To date, there is no panel review and no independent
experts,'' said Mr. Northey. ``We are trying to get the
smelter included in the same project as the mine and mill.''
In May 1996, Inco Ltd. of Toronto paid $4.6 billion for
Diamond Fields Resources, the Vancouver-based junior that
discovered the rich Voisey's Bay deposit in Labrador in
1994.
Inco wants to build a nickel smelter at Argentia on the west
coast of the Avalon Peninsula.
Mining leases in Newfoundland require milling, smelting and
refining be done in the province.
Voisey's Bay will supply about 13 per cent of the world's
nickel market when developed, according to Mr. Northey.
``It's a Canadian project with an enormous national and
international profile.''
He said most of the members of the Citizens' Mining Council
live on the same peninsula as the proposed smelter. ``St.
John's is downwind of the smelter. The prevailing wind (from
Argentia) blows northeasterly toward St. John's.''
In addition, he said, ``Smelters are a significant source of
acid rain.'' The Ottawa Citizen

Hearing split lessens Voisey's enviro concerns, lawyer
argues
a decision by the federal and Newfoundland governments to

water bodies is sensitive to acid rain.
``Smelters are a significant source of acid rain,'' he said.
A decision by the court on the Citizens' Mining Council
request for a single public review on environmental impacts
isn't expected for several months.

4. RUSSIA: Miners Protest Non-Payment of Wages
tomcondit labr.cis 12:21 PM Mar 10, 1998
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 1998 23:14:26 +0300 (WSU) From: pabgem@glasnet.ru
NEW APPEAL FROM KAZAKHSTAN
Dear Friends,
Ionur's trial has finished and the sentence is to be announced on the
24th
February. Please keep up pressure on the regime.
Over the weekend we have been visited by the President of the Free Trade
Union Federation of Kazakhstan. The British paper carried an interview
with
him over the miners march on Almata in the autumn.
Since then events have developed. As of writing, three cities in the
South
of Kazakhstan, Kentau, Zhanatas and Taraz are experiencing big protests
over the non payment of wages. In Zhanatas a non stop protest meeting
and
hunger strike was held outside the City Council building. As a result
of
the hunger strike one 27 year old miner died and 70 were hospitalised.
16th February, 250 protesters went to the nearby railway junction and
blockaded it. As a result 29 trains connecting central Asia to Moscow
were
stopped. Today the blockade was broken up by the security organs, including
the KNB (former KGB) who used their truncheons freely against the women
and
children present. The protesters were then bundled into an unmarked
and
sealed freight railway wagon and taken off to an unknown destination.
Memories of Stalin's forced deportations are strong in this area as
there
were many prison camps in Kazakhstan.
Clearly the regime is intentionally targetting the workers movement,
in
this case the Free Trade Union Confederation, which has not been linked
to
the left in the past. Its President, Genaddi Nikitin is now subject
to 6
criminal charges. On one occasion, opium was planted on him. On another,
his daughter was kidnapped. A local KNB source has told them they have
had
orders to deal with the federation within 6 months. One of the leaders
of
the current strikes, K Shaldarbekov has disappeared after he was called
in
for questionning by the security organs.
These workers are in a desperate position. Many have not been paid for
a
year. In Kentau, electricity is available for only 3 hours a day in
a city
where temperatures fall to 40 degrees below freezing. Tuberculosis
is now
raging in the city and there is no medicine to treat it. 150 children
are
in the hospital suffering from TB and it is widely believed that they
were
intentionally infected by the authorities.
The trade union has made approaches to nearly all international
humanitarian bodies for aid. At best, bodies such as the UN reply that
they
distribute their humanitarian aid in conjunction with the government.
Kazakhstan representatives of the Red Cross replied that they do not
help
workers as they tend to get involved in politics (although they did
later
send some token assistance). The trade union knows that organisations
such
as the CWI are unable to provide humanitarian assistance (although
a small
quantity of -medical supplies were sent in October) but they know that
it
is only organisations such as ours that are able to give them any support.
They have asked us to publicise as widely as possible the situation
in
Kazakhstan and to send messages of support and protest. In particular
protests about the persecution of trade unions in Kazakhstan should
be sent
to President Nazarbayev and General Procuror Xitrin.
Messages of support should be sent to 487090, Republic of Kazakhstan,
Kentau, ul. Akhmeta-Yacyavi d 83. Nezavisimomu Profsoyuz Kazakhstans,
Nikitinu GA They can also be sent by email to:
CFTUK@insystip.ksisti.alma-ata.su
Messages of protest should go to President Nazurbayev, Republic of
Kazakhstan, Akmola, Presidential Administration. General Procuror,
Republic
of Kazakhstan, Akmola, Upravleniye Procuror.

I, too, recently watched this video when my wife and parents picked
it
out at the video store; none of us had heard of it before. It
is a well-
told story of, as indicated above, miners' lives in Nova Scotia.
The
film is not as overtly political in its characters or dialogue as is
one
of my favorite films, "Matewan", by John Sayles, but covers a lot of
the same issues as Sayles's film.
If you can find it in your local video store, it is worth renting.
In solidarity,
