Comment
This doesn’t read very well, as a shareholder I always want the company I’m invested in to treat their workers properly.
It does look like a battle between two unions for control, and officers of both have vested interests of course, but what we don’t know is whether or not the union at the mine is causing unneccesary issues to Orla by abusing their position.
Unless we hear both sides we simply cannot take an informed view, so until then I trust Orla management to treat their workers correctly.

VANCOUVER – Mine workers from Mexico, joined by United Steelworkers (USW) union members, will demonstrate Tuesday outside the Vancouver offices of Orla Mining to protest violence and intimidation against workers at Orla’s Camino Rojo mine in Mexico.
WHO: Members of the Mexican miners’ union Los Mineros and the United Steelworkers union
WHAT: Protest outside Orla Mining offices in Vancouver over human and labour rights abuses
WHEN: Tuesday, June 10, 4:30 p.m. PDT
WHERE: Sidewalk outside 1075 W. Georgia St., Vancouver
Since the spring of 2024, the Mexican miners’ union Los Mineros has alleged in numerous Mexican labour complaints that Orla Mining has pressured and coerced its workers in Mexico to decertify their union and affiliate with a pro-employer company union. A cartel is present at the mine and is alleged to have a relationship with the company’s management and the pro-employer union. Members of the cartel have threatened violence against workers who do not support the pro-employer union.
Last June the Mineros submitted a complaint over the company’s interference in their rights to freedom of association. The complaint was accepted by the U.S. Department of Labor under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM), and is now moving to an international arbitration panel.
