La Rinconada Peru
Near La Rinconada, Peru, there is a gold mine where people work for 30 days without pay, and on the 31st day, they can take as much ore as they can carry.
The claims regarding La Rinconada's mining practices are partially validated by evidence. The 'cachorreo' system, which allows workers at the La Rinconada gold mine to work for 30 days without pay and then take ore on the 31st day, is supported by a reliable source. However, regarding whether workers specifically carry ore on their shoulders on the 31st day, only general corroboration was found without detailed specifics. The score reflects this partial validation, supported by fact-checks and web sources.
