Syndication sues ACR

09/09/2011 12:00

Syndication leader announced that they are preparing a suit against the ACR Company.

The announcement that was distributed today by the syndication leader, Kol Nikolla, says that they are preparing a suit against ACR for the illegal activity of interfering with the syndication works, by infringing the strike law and by exerting pressure for unmotivated dismissals.

This reaction comes one day after the ACR Company announced that the work in the mine will start this Monday and the mineworkers should sign the contracts or they would be fired.

For the syndication, this is a threat and criminal act, because the article 197/8.4 of the Strike Law provides that firing due to a legal strike is invalid. The ACR Company notification declared that they were interrupting any negotiation with the syndications. Before this announcement, the representative of the Decometal Company visited Bulqize and negotiated a final draft-agreement that almost had the consent of the company and the syndications.

Both parties withdrew for discussing a request that demanded the removal of the mine director, while all other economic requests were accepted. Finally, the Bulqize strike did not end and the Syndication and the Company are facing each others to court.
