CONCENTRATOR NEWS

Brothers and Sisters,

Recently, we have been told that one of the ways that the company wants to be more competitive this year is “do more with less”. We all know that since the slide at the Mine a year ago, we are already doing more with less! With all of the retirements, the company moving people around the division,and even people moving on to a better future elsewhere, they havent filled any of these openings! We see what the companies plan is going forward:Hire more contractors. We have never seen as many contractors on the plants as we see now.So what the company sees as the big picture is “more with less” Kennecott workers.So we challenge everyone to ask their supervisors the question “why cant we do that work?” Ask them to have the company hire more Kennecott workers to get the jobs done. We are able to give them better results than contractors, we just need more people. If you dont ask, we will see more and more contractors doing our work.
In solidarity,
Lloyd Smith,
