José Celestino Díaz Iturrieta (29 January 1906 – 14 May 1987) was a Chilean mechanic, worker and communist politician.[1]
He was the son of José Celestino Díaz Cerda and Rafaela Iturrieta Molina, and married Rosa Inés Flores Villalón in Chuquicamata on 1 February 1941.[1]
He worked as an automobile mechanic and as a nitrate worker. He was a militant of the Partido Progresista Nacional, the name used by the Communist Party between 1941 and 1945, after the Electoral Registrar erased its legal existence based on a 1932 law.[1]
He helped organize the Industrial Union of the Chuquicamata Plant in 1933, becoming its first president. He also served as regidor of Calama (1938) and Secretary-General of the Industrial Mining Federation of Copiapó (1939).[1]
