Mineworkers at AngloAmerican’s Grosvenor underground coal mine are infuriated by the company’s latest tactics to avoid giving them job security, including a Hunger Games-style competition for permanent shirts.
In February, Anglo announced a review of its fully outsourced workforce model at the mine which has recently re-started production after a horror underground explosion. The production workforce at Grosvenor is fully outsourced to labour hire company One Key, leading to a focus on insecure work arrangements at the subsequent inquiry.
