Normality resumes at Jamaica's New Day Bauxite Plant: Source says

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

Normality has been restored at New Day Aluminium (Jamaica) Limited since when it received order from the Industrial Disputes Tribunal (IDT), on Friday, July 6, 2018, for hourly paid workers to end a week-long-go slow.

The workers had been on go-slow since June 28, supporting the University and Allied Workers Union’s claim towards the company (UAWU) for adjusting their top rate of US$13 per hour, based on changes in the exchange rate.

According to UAWU President Senator Lambert Brown, the union had been appealing to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security to intimate the issue to the Industrial Disputes Tribunal without success.

Yesterday, on July 8, Senator Brown told the Jamaica Observer that with the ministry’s decision to refer the matter to the IDT, the request was met and workers resumed normality.

However, he noted that he was unable to attend the meeting at the IDT on Friday evening due to late invitation.

The Industrial Disputes Tribunal ordered a full resumption of work from Saturday, 7:30 AM.

New Day Jamaica Bauxite Limited, as used to be known as Noranda Bauxite Limited earlier, has 49 per cent ownership of the bauxite mining company in St. Ann, while the Government of Jamaica owns the rest of 51 per cent through Jamaica Bauxite Mining.
