BNamericas reported that Peru's national mining and metalworkers federation FNTMMSP is contemplating calling a strike following weeks of congressional debates over reforms demanded by the union.
A source with the federation told BNamericas that congress has been reviewing legal amendments and additions on outsourcing, participation in profits and pensions for mine workers in the past weeks in what the federation considers stalling.
The federation suspended a call for a nationwide strike on May 12 to give the congress time to pass the reforms in question but now said that it feels lawmakers are taking too long.
The union source said the federation plans to make another call for work stoppage in June.
