 Following negotiations on issues
of pay, a labor strike has been called off at the Russian owned gold-mining
Altan Dornod (Zolotoy Vostok) Mongol Company.
Miners at Altan Dornod accused
the company of maintaining artificially low wages and, further, said
miners did not receive overtime or weekend supplements for Sunday work.
A petition from miners was
originally delivered to local mine officials. When officials refused
to negotiate, miners did not appear at the mines to work the following
day.
When the company brought in
unskilled laborers into the mine, a mechanical error resulted in two
workers being seriously hurt.
Now, mining officials have
said they are willing to meet miners’ demands and are seeking a return
to the negotiating table.
