The strike is over: Drummond to resume shipping coal as early as this week

摘要

After 32 days of work stoppage, the Drummond strike has ended. Word from Colombia indicates that a new two-year labor agreement between the union and Drummond was signed June 23. Two vessels are already waiting at the port to receive coal. Drummond is working to pump water from the pits and clean the roads, If rail service can be re-established over the weekend (which observers think is likely), coal shipments should begin arriving at the port this week. "If Drummond has inventory sitting at the port, then shipments to customers will resun very quickly," a source said.
