The Federación Sindical de Trabajadores Mineros de Bolivia FSTMB (English: Union Federation of Bolivian Mine Workers) is a labor union in Bolivia that represents miners. Bolivia’s miners are commonly regarded as the country’s most class-conscious workers. The FSTMB has played an important role in Bolivia’s recent history.The union emerged in the wake of a violent clash between government troops and striking tin miners in Oruro and Potosí in 1942.
