Inuit employment down again

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

The numbers of permanent Inuit employees at the Raglan mine near Kangiqsujuaq in June comprised only nine per cent or 42 workers out of a total of 452 workers at the nickel mine site.

Inuit temporary workers numbered 26, while seven more were in training.

The total number of Inuit workers in the mine’s workforce stood at 16.6 per cent, or 75 workers.

The goal for Inuit employment at the Raglan mine has been 20 per cent, and training efforts at the mine continue to boost the lacklustre numbers of Inuit workers.
