 “In addition to the layoff notices and bonuses that will be offered to them in accordance with the collective agreement, workers will have the opportunity to go and work in Saguenay in one of the Rio Tinto factories,” Mr Gagné added.

In the last one year, a 60% drop in contracts has made the employer to decide for the closure of the plant. The weekly yield dropped from 1150 tonnes of the ingot to a range of 400 to 450 tonnes.
