Chilean Copper Mine Collapse Wan H. Kim BCOM/275 26 March 2013 Robert Waremburg It is not easy to prepare or communicate when someone is putting out overwhelming news. It is never an uncomplicated when reporting bad news to the involved people. It is very important to deliver the news correctly. They should follow proper steps to reflect on before and after communication. The trapped employees in the mines needs are very different from the needs of their family members.
Then a parent hopes if it is his or her child down there, that the child survived the cave in. The person who was responsible for communicating with the family would need to 100% sure of the miners trapped before making an announcement to the families.. Thomas McCollough highlights three main facets of moral imagination that he feels are relevant to simulation training in bad news delivery. (1) identification of another’s experience; (2) engagement through the exercise of compassion,

Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to insure the quick and safe rescue of the men trapped inside. We have provided food and water to those who are trapped and constantly working to get these men out.
The company also needs to make sure they let the audience know they are available to answer any clarifying questions and also provide all possible information. To the families (through the media) A crisis has transpired in one of our mines, the San Jose mine of the San Esteban Mining Company, which is located in Northern Chile. The mine has undergone a huge rock slide and it is estimated at this moment over thirty workers are trapped underground at around 300 meters (Weik, 2010). Soon after the mine began to cave, the government started rescue operations and are still working hard to get miners out. Rescuers are drilling boreholes to locate the exact location of the workers but at this time their location still hasn’t been determined (Fiscor,
I also would want this personal and up close communication so that I can comfort people who may need it. I believe that making myself available to them and to the rescue efforts would help assure them of my sincerity. Communication #1 It is with great sadness that I announce to our Minera San Esteban Primera family that our San Jose mine has suffered a cave in trapping 33 (MSNBC, 2010) of our friends and loved ones underground. Rescue workers
The union will then designate a "strike deadline" beyond which it is assumed there will be a cessation of work should no agreement occur. Should that deadline pass, the strike begins with a formal authorization by the union to its members not to report for work (or, alternatively, when the employer acts preemptively for tactical reasons and declares a lockout, a refusal to allow workers on the premises, prior to that union order). The union will attempt to prevent the employer from continued operations by picketing the employer's facilities (walking up and down outside the employer's premises carrying picket signs), thereby announcing the existence of a labor dispute and asking the other workers and the public not to cross the picket lines. While on strike, workers usually receive "strike benefits" from their union, a small money stipend to help them with their necessary
They are required to arrive within hours of a disaster to assist with getting supplies of food and medicine to the people who need it, to set up shelters and provide safety for people who have been evacuated from their homes.

It is important to show sensitivity and compassion to an individual that has experienced a traumatic event such as a disaster. Volunteers also need to wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Disasters typically involve a lot of debris, and damaged buildings may have unsafe areas. The second disaster scene I went on did not occur until near the end of my internship. This disaster was a wildfire in Austin, Texas (Eversley and Rice 2011).
Knowing Your Audience 1 Knowing Your Audience BCOM/275 Misty Daniels 10/22/2012 Cliff Madison Knowing Your Audience 2 Knowing Your Audience In August 2010 the San Jose mine in Chile collapsed trapping 33 workers. Announcing this to the world and the family members of the miners trapped had to be the most horrible job ever! Delivering such news would have to be done in steps, the information should be released to the families first and then a statement released to the press. The information released to both would have to be different, mainly because the family would need more personal information then the press. The family and the entire company should be the first people to hear about the collapse, giving as much
Chilean Mine Collapse Desperate families of the 33 miners lay waiting in makeshift tents at the entrance of a Chilean mine that recently had collapsed and cut off communication with their loved ones. The miners were trapped beneath almost 700,000 tons of rock. Despite the prior closure of the mining site production continued with no consideration for human lives. Not knowing whether the 33 miners were dead or alive the government still assembled a team from one of the world’s largest copper producers to find a way to rescue those trapped so far below the surface (Yang, 2010). This story was an extraordinary one.
