Yancoal Australia (ASX:YAL, HKG:3668) workers at its Premier Coal mine in Western Australia voted in favor of protected industrial action over pay and redundancy entitlements, the Mining and Energy Union (MEU) said in a statement on Wednesday.
Over 90% of MEU members and about 93% of Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union members backed the proposed action as they push for wage increases and redundancy provisions in what is expected to be their final enterprise agreement before the mine shuts down, the statement said.
