Two weeks after a rockfall and tremors halted operations at Boliden's Garpenberg mine—injuring several workers and forcing evacuation—production is now forecast at only one third of the annual plan. The union reports high anxiety among staff, but no layoffs are planned.
The collapse at Boliden's Garpenberg mine continues to impact operations severely. Following the initial rockfall on March 14 weekend, which led to hundreds of tremors, evacuation of all underground workers, and around 500 staff shifted to surface duties, the company now anticipates billions in losses.
Union representatives told sodran.se that worry is significant among employees. However, no layoffs are planned at this stage.
Production is projected to reach only one third of the original annual target, according to Dala-Demokraten.
