Workers at Teck Resources’ BC mine to hold ratification vote

Canadian miner Teck Resources Ltd said on Monday that a union representing 1,048 workers at its British Columbia mine has agreed to hold a ratification vote on the mediators’ recommendation.

The union will schedule a ratification vote to be concluded no later than January 24, the company said.

Last week, the company said it had received a strike notice from the union at its Highland Valley Copper Operations in British Columbia, without providing any reasons behind the potential strike.
