Bosai strike ends after Labour Ministry brokers terms of resumption

The strike action by workers of the Bosai Bauxite Mining Company in Linden has been called off, following successful intervention by the Labour and Manpower Planning Ministry on Thursday.
Chief Labour Officer Dhaneshwar Deonarine chaired a meeting between the company’s management and representatives of the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employees (NAACIE), where a Terms of Resumption agreement was signed.

Under the agreement, the union committed to calling off the strike with immediate effect and ensuring that all workers resume duties on Friday, September 26.
The terms also provide that there shall be no victimisation by either party and that the status quo ante remains in effect.
As part of the process, both the company and the union will return to the Ministry of Labour on Monday, September 29, for conciliation talks.
These discussions are expected to address all outstanding issues that led to the industrial action, with the aim of reaching an amicable and fair resolution.
The Labour and Manpower Planning Ministry, in a statement, reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a stable and harmonious industrial relations climate, welcoming the constructive step taken by both sides to end the strike and pursue conciliation in good faith.
