Glencore coal miners return to work in Australia but vow more strike action

Coal mine workers from seven Glencore collieries in Australia returned to work on Thursday after a four-day work stoppage, with many voting to keep up pressure on the company over wages and job security.

More than 1,400 workers met in the mining hub of Singleton, New South Wales, about 200 km north of Sydney, this week and voted to continue industrial action that began in June against the Swiss-based company, according to a statement from the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union.
