Guinea general strike will not affect bauxite production, miners assure

1MINS READ
A general strike in Guinea that began on Monday, February 15, will not curb production of bauxite, the country's top producer Guinea Bauxite Company (CBG) said on Tuesday. The miners, however, have announced their support for a nationwide protest against lowering of wages and high fuel prices.

Guinea holds nearly a third of the world's reserves of bauxite, a metal used to make aluminium, and currently produces around 18 million tonnes a year.

Workers at CBG, Africa's biggest bauxite mining company, received a notice from their union asking them to show solidarity for the nationwide strike demanding wage hike and lowering of fuel prices.

"The CBG and Guinea Gold Corporation (AngloGold Ashanti ) joined the movement," Mamady Mansaré, general secretary of the National Confederation of Workers of Guinea (CNTG) told reporters. But CBG said that the show of support would not stop working hours or halt operations.

"Unionists have decided to join the strike last night but just (to show) support," said a senior official at CBG. "This has no impact on plant operations."
