The miners of Mina Miura have 12 unpaid monthly paychecks.

Omissions

• The claim does not specify how many miners are affected by the unpaid wages. While five miners began the sit-in protest (later reduced to four), some reports indicate the broader workforce at Mina Miura may be around 50 miners. It is unclear from available sources whether all workers face exactly 12 unpaid paychecks or only the protesting group.
• The period over which the 12 paychecks accumulated is not explicitly stated in the available reporting, though it is implied to cover approximately 12 consecutive months.
• No primary official source (court ruling, labor inspection report, or company statement) corroborating the exact figure of 12 was found in the searches; verification relies on journalistic reporting by the regional public broadcaster.
