Sakatti Mining puts up to 27 jobs at risk in staff talks

AA Sakatti Mining has begun employment change negotiations that could lead to the dismissal of up to 27 permanent employees, Yle reports. The talks cover all 63 people employed by the Finnish subsidiary of mining company Anglo American.

The company says it is adjusting its staffing to a revised timetable after the processing of an application for an exception to Natura protections for its Sakatti mine project was delayed by at least several months.

Sakatti Mining is planning a mine at Viiankiaapa, a protected mire in Sodankylä. The mire is protected under Finland’s mire conservation law and the Natura network.
