Workers at Sherritt International Corp.’s Ambatovy nickel project in Madagascar may go on strike after job cuts at the mine, a labor-union official said.
The company, based in Toronto, said on June 4 the joint venture cut about 12 percent of its workforce, resulting in about 1,100 employees and contractors having their employment contracts suspended or being demobilized. The Syndicalisme et Vie de Societes is organizing a meeting on Monday to help employees decide what steps to take next, said Richard Rakotovao, head of the legal department at the labor union.
