EPMU corrects Joyce on Bathurst mine

The EPMU would like to correct statements from Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce today which implied the union was somehow opposing Bathurst’s Escarpment Mine.

The EPMU has always supported the Escarpment Mine and the potential for 400 new mining jobs on the West Coast.

Mr Joyce is welcome to come and talk to the EPMU at any time for an update on the union’s views on the need for Government support for New Zealand’s mining communities.
