Comment on negative impacts for local communities
According to their statistics, as of June 14, 2019, there are 631 workers with fixed-term contracts who have been made redundant. The Mine sometimes invokes the economic motive, sometimes the reorganization of the company. The Mine Directorate, for its part, recalled that the workers had been informed of the difficult financial situation of the Mine and of the subcontracting of the garage and part of the mine in order to reduce costs.
