Coal miners suspend action ahead of talks
More than 800 coal miners involved in a nationwide pay dispute with Solid Energy and its contractors have voted to suspend industrial action as a gesture of good faith ahead of mediation with Solid Energy tomorrow.
The miners, all members of the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union, will suspend their nationwide overtime ban and campaign of spontaneous rolling stoppages pending the outcome of mediation.
Miners at Spring Creek and Terrace will also suspend their indefinite strike action, which has now been running for nine days.
Mediation is scheduled for up to two days and will take place in Christchurch.
