RE:The blockade seems to continue...Thanks for the link kukaman. When USW5114 was striking Lucky Friday the unions Facebook page was place to go to get best and most timely info on strike - everything from events on picket line to results of contract voting. Mina San Rafael now has even more recent post from only 12 hours ago, mine still blockaded by Senators union and Sinaloa cartel so USA has yet done nothing at mine to restart production. Appears to me the Senator and Sinaloa cartel can shut mine down at will, whenever they want. Sinaloa cartel has been way too much manpower and firepower in their hone base of Culiacan for USA to bring in private security to protect mine, since that would be suicide mission for contractors, so USA has no option but to give these people what they want when they want it. Hasn't Blasutti ever heard of President Cardenas and the Mexican Eagle Oil company? Blasutti should have kissed Senator Napoleon's ring from outset, 18 months ago instead of insulting him and his supporters with name calling...appears USA disrespect means relationship with powers that be in Mexico is as bad as Tahoe had with Guatemala.
