Miners to return to work

19 November, 2009

1000 Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union members at Solid Energy's four main mines have voted to return to work at 6am Saturday morning. 

The decision follows three and a half weeks of strike action and is contingent on negotiations between the union and the SOE which will commence on Saturday morning.

No further comment will be made until after negotiations.
