The International Association of Machinists local 1848 has given Hudbay the necessary 72 hours written notice to start strike action at 11:59 am on Saturday.
Their website states it is now clear management have no intention to bargain with their union in good faith. They add none of their outstanding language issues were addressed and the wage enhancements were no where near what they had hoped for or desire. It has left the union with only one option taking strike action.
They have reached out to management in assisting them with a controlled shutdown of all operations to ensure the easiest most efficient start of the plant once it resumes operations.
