Federación Minera de Chile (FMC) is a prominent labor union organization established on May 21, 2004, in Antofagasta, the capital of Chile's second region. It represents the collective interests of mining workers in the country. FMC is dedicated to advocating for the rights and well-being of these workers.

FMC offers a range of services and initiatives to support its members. They actively work towards ensuring legal protection for the safety and health of mining workers by ratifying the Convenio 176 OIT, which strengthens the legal limitations on labor protection. Additionally, FMC campaigns for the establishment of a unique royalty system that encompasses a payment for mineral extraction in Chile, separate from income or operational taxes.

They also strive for an unrestricted right to strike, as the current Chilean labor code presents limitations that hinder the effectiveness of this tool for resistance. Furthermore, FMC's commitment to education and research is realized through the Federación Minera de Chile's Educational Foundation. This foundation emphasizes enhancing the educational landscape at all levels and preserving and enriching Chile's mining cultural heritage.

With a solid track record and ongoing projects, FMC is dedicated to serving the interests of mining workers and securing their rightful place in the industry. For more information, visit their website or reach out to them via email or phone
