Chilean dockers under attack
By Earl Gilman El Nuevo Topo
31 January 1998
Valparaiso Chile On January 29 striking port workers in Valparaiso were
threatened by soldiers and naval troops in an action which resembles the
Pinochet dictatorship which ruled Chile until recently.
200 workers had blocked the road to prevent trucks entering the port to
protest government delay in implementing port reorganization
At 14:45 Chilean time, around 20 soldiers carrying M-16 RIFLES closed in
on the workers. Simultaneously, 2 truckloads of naval troops arrived.
The workers leaders, alarmed, ended the confrontation by withdrawing the
protesters.
