Task 3 - Strategies

This document outlines strategies to address issues affecting workers who transport coal in Colombia's ports. The intrasectoral strategy focuses on implementing technological innovations to reduce harm to workers and training workers in self-care. The intersectoral strategy aims to improve air quality and workers' quality of life by implementing more pollution-reducing technology in coal transport and tightening laws on illegal mining. Resources needed include monitoring mechanisms, funding for new technology, and vehicles designed specifically for cleaner coal transport.

CONTRIBUTIONS
In relation to labor informality in the mining area, there are previous data that
converge on different scales, as well as conditions of informality and illegality that
limit the possibility of measuring with certainty the employment generated and the
number of companies that carry out activities in the sector. Data such as PSUs
(Mining Production Units) have been obtained: 63% do not have a mining title and
mining production units with less than 6 employees predominate, with a 72%
participation within the total number of registered units. Units with between 8 and
21 employees represent 15%, while 7% correspond to units with 6 and 7
employees; It is followed in a lower percentage by units with 22 or more
employees. It is not unknown that labor informality leads companies to have ways
of failing to comply with the responsibility of a subordinate employer and also
violates the human rights of workers.
Achieving these objectives poses the greatest challenges for the sector in social,
environmental and health and safety terms, having a clear and simple regulatory
framework, based on coordination between the different levels of government,
demonstrating the importance of mining for the local and national economic and
social development and finding meeting points with local populations through
coordination and dialogue, as well as the inclusion of mining in land use planning.
The degree of acceptance necessary in the territories so that mining can develop
in an orderly and responsible manner, generating economic impacts in terms of
decent employment and expected income, without conflicts with other productive
activities and minimizing adverse impacts on ecosystem services and populations ,
requires that these relationships of trust and legitimacy of the mining activity be
built on solid and credible foundations, through instruments such as good
practices, among which are corporate social responsibility, transparency,
environmental sustainability, dialogues and security and health in mining, in
accordance with the three pillars that guide the Guiding Principles on Business and
Human Rights23, on the duty of the State to protect human rights, and the
responsibility of companies to respect them and to remedy the effects generated.
