Prat Pier was one of many that was damaged in Valparaiso. This infrastructure was strong sequels that not only damaged the facade but also affect the activities of the workers on site. The pier is one of the areas declared a World Heritage Site, so that both the State and the Port of Valparaiso should take care to change the current situation. However, bad luck for workers, with the change of command of the nation is not possible to give a quick solution the case, not until the change was communicated to the board that governs the company. In the words of the president of the National Inter-Union Workers Prat Pier boats, Don Carlos Lemus, the company would turn the sector around the month of September to discuss stage and, after that, making a decision. Until then the appearance of the spring will not change.
As can be seen, the conditions under which lies the spring does not cause any inconvenience to the company, but for the workers, who see themselves as going to lead a more powerful entity, and neither the state does something. At this time the spring continues in appalling conditions, the earthquake reduced footprint and increased the insecurity of those who work there and all those who visited the area, lessening the sightseeing and thus, the income of people who earn their living in that place.
