London Mining Supports Anti Strike Laws




The decision by London union staff to vote in favour of Mining strike action which has revived the debate among Conservatives about whether to tighten the UK's anti-union laws.The latter are already the most restrictive in the western world but Tory MP’s want the coalition to go further and ban strikes unless at least 50 per cent of union members participate in the ballot. In the case of the union staff, just 20 per cent did (57 per cent of whom voted in favour of action). Others argue that border guards, like the police, should be banned from striking at all.

We are talking with the Sierra Leone National Registration Office to arrange a site visit to get the local workforce supplied with National ID cards. This will not only enable us to have accurate and reliable data on the individuals working at our site, it will also mean these individuals can register to vote in elections.

All London Mining's assets have deliverable production with potential for expansion. The Company listed on AIM in London on 6 November 2009.
