Galasur dismisses 19 workers in Olavarría mining crisis

The mining sector in Olavarría is facing renewed instability following the sudden dismissal of 19 workers at the Galasur quarry. Employees reported that on Wednesday, they were instructed via internal channels not to report for work until the following Monday, citing necessary repairs. However, dismissal notices began arriving the next morning.

Workers gathered at the quarry entrance to demand information, stating they had received no prior communication regarding the reasons for the layoffs. The mining union, AOMA, confirmed that a hearing was held at the Ministry of Labor, noting that the dismissals only became known on Thursday. This incident is part of a broader trend of layoffs and suspensions affecting the regional mining industry.
