Zambia: Maamba Collieries to layoff workers Maamba Collirie
Maamba Colliries (MCL) coal processing plant
Maamba Colliries (MCL) Coal Processing Plant (CPP) which would be replaced for a modern one
Maamba Collieries (MCL) Coal Mine new owners, NAVA BHARAT venture will layoff all employees and pay them their terminal benefits.
The Company’s Executive Officer Kalunga Mumba told workers in a memo that MCL Board of Directors has decided to send all the miners on voluntary separation exercise with effect from August 31 to November 30, 2010.
Mr Mumba said the company would undertake a voluntary separation exercise as a strategy to reorganize their business and give employees a chance to get their terminal benefits.
The workers have also been told to reapply for their positions.
“I would like to thank you for your contribution and continued hard work during the difficult conditions that MCL had experienced in the past,” Mr Mumba said in the memo.
He said the Company would support them to address any negative impact that the exercise may have on their future livelihood.
Mr Mumba informed the workers that voluntary separation procedures and application forms would be circulated to all employees in two weeks time.
However, the move is contrary to the MCL’s former Executive Officer Dipesh Dipu statement earlier this year assuring the miners that no one would lose employment after the new owners take over.
NAVA BHARAT venture is owns about 65 shares in Maamba Collieries (MCL) Coal Mine while government has 35 percent.
