Premier Coal Workers Vote for Strike | Perth News
Description
Workers at Premier Coal, WA’s main coal supplier, have voted for strike action after stalled negotiations with the Chinese-backed Yancoal Australia over pay and redundancy terms. With coal power set to phase out by 2030, tensions rise as union leaders accuse the company of ignoring worker demands. The WA government assures no power cuts, citing Synergy’s coal stockpile, while also pushing for mine mergers and taxpayer-funded rehabilitation — moves unions say favor corporate profits over workers. Now, unionized staff are preparing to finalize strike details, ready to walk out unless their concerns are addressed before the mine’s closure.
