MEXICO CITY, March 17 (Reuters) – Mexico could revoke a concession held by Canadian miner Americas Gold and Silver Corporation in northern Mexico if it does not accept its new trade union representation there, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Wednesday.
Speaking at a regular news conference, Lopez Obrador said he would direct Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard to speak to the Canadian government about the dispute centering on Americas Gold and Silver’s San Rafael mine in Cosala in the state of Sinaloa.
Lopez Obrador, a leftist, noted that Americas Gold and Silver had rejected the outcome of a vote by workers at the mine to put labor representation under the control of trade union, the Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores Mineros, Metalurgicos, Siderurgicos y Similares de la Republica Mexicana.
