MAURITANIA— Kinross Gold Corp (Tasiast) had expelled dozens of its workers with the majority of them are union activists and decided to reduce bonuses paid to workers.
To achieve its goals, the company informed its workers that it will renew the collective agreement that ended in December 2015. However, it called for a meeting and presented a different draft collective agreement.
Although workers’ representatives promised that they will negotiate the management to come up with an agreement that live up to workers’ expectations, the later said negotiations will be excluded to the articles proposed in the new agreement with no additions.
