British Columbia miners serve strike notice at Gibraltar

The Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine is the second largest open-pit copper mine in Canada and the largest employer in the Cariboo region of British Columbia. “Unifor has negotiated in good faith to avoid work stoppage at Taseko’s only functioning copper mine,” Unifor’s Western regional director Gavin McGarrigle said. “We need Taseko to get serious about resolving basic issues if we’re to avoid job action.” Taseko has not responded to a request for comment. Taseko posted its highest ever revenue of $525 million for 2023 in March, thanks mainly to the contribution of the Gibraltar mine, in which it held a majority 87.5% interest.
