Lay offs at the Coal mines

[LUCKY 7]

teck just annouced 604 employees company wide will be getting cut

 

[imdoo'n]

wonder if they are going to be hiring "temporary foreign workers"

 

[LUCKY 7]

I don't think that the unions would take that very good

the trend will continue until met and pci prices improve.

willow was the first to go and the rest will follow as it goes. that region has always been a swing producer. only been in the industry 10yrs myself and its allready seen it happen twice.

The long standing mines in the elk valley have the most chance of staying open as they are established, larger coal seams ect.

The best thing for high prices is low prices. it will swing back around. for awhile.

Resource industries are cyclical. Doesn't matter what they are or where they are.

Sorry to hear about all the job losses, I hate seeing our mining brothers go through these hard times, first in labrador now in tumbler, I hope everything works out for them.
