LAVAL, QC, May 27, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ – Raglan Mine acknowledges the decision of United Steelworkers (USW) Local 9449, representing production and maintenance employees to exercise their right to strike, despite all efforts to date to reach a negotiated agreement.
As a result, Raglan Mine has no choice but to suspend all production activities at the mine site, with a view to keeping the safety of all employees our top priority. This implies a demobilization of the site and a return of employees to their hometowns. A reduced number of workers will remain at the site to maintain essential operations and ensure site integrity.
“We believe the Global Offer presented to the union was fair and mutually beneficial for all parties. The union’s actions are particularly disappointing considering the recent arrival of an independent mediator and the openness the company demonstrated to improve the initial offer,” said Pierre BarretteRaglan Mine’s vice-president.
Three weeks ago, Raglan Mine tabled a Global Offer that placed its employees among the best paid in the mining industry.
