Union wants better working conditions for miners

The confederation of trade unions in the country– Centrale des syndicats des travailleurs du Rwanda (CESTRAR) – wants employers to improve the working conditions of miners countrywide. Gaspard Mpakanyi, the official in charge of mining at CESTRAR, says more needs to be done to address the three main challenges, poor training, lack of equipment, and disrespecting the rights of miners.
