智利港口工人将参加学生罢课
SANTIAGO, June 16 (Xinhua) -- Chilean port workers and subcontractors at the state-run copper1 company have decided2 to join a nationwide student strike on June 26 calling for education reform, a student representative said Sunday.
The workers will join the strike launched by middle school and university students, said Diego Vela, spokesman for Chile's Confederation of University Students (Confech) and president of the Catholic University Student Federation3.
"The National Port Workers Union decided that on June 26 we are going to mobilize and we are going to paralyze (labor) nationwide," he said.
"All the country's ports will come to a standstill in the search for free, public and quality education," he said.
Vela noted4 that in the lead up to the presidential elections in November, the year 2013 is more important than ever "in terms of the changes we need as a country, and which we have not attained5 through years of protests."
Meanwhile, President of the Confederation of Copper Workers Christian6 Cuevas confirmed that the group has joined the strike.
Vela's statements came after student representatives analyzed7 the impact of a June 13 rally and planned their next move at the Pontifical8 Catholic University of Valparaiso.
Education reform has become a major topic in debate of presidential campaigns since 2011, when intense students protests demanding affordable9, quality education began. Two education ministers were forced out of office.
