Romania -Workers’ contracts at Rosia Montana suspended
The Rosia Montana Gold Corporation, seeking to start controversial mining operations that made news around the world last year, has suspended the contracts of 392 workers, sending them into structural unemployment. The corporation´s management has said the suspension of the contract is done in reaction to repeated delays in the evaluation and permitting procedures of the operation. Management said the workers will be reinstated if permits are granted to start the mining operations, but that they will be laid off if no permits are received.
