Just flew home from MKO (mount keith operations BHP nickelwest) we lost 100 BHP staff, mainly from production crews and 200-300 contractors today. what a mess of a day it was. rocked up to work and was immediately told there would be a safety meeting back at camp. when we arrived back at camp it was a 5 min address then it was go line up and see if u still have a job! treated just like a commodity/number *sigh*
almost everyone from MKO has sent home for 2-8 weeks as they suspend production operations, and try to run the joint on a skeletal crew.
will def be an interesting year.
condolences to anyone here from RNO, and all the best to them.
