It is with great sadness that we confirm that a Unifor Local 892 member has been killed in the Mosaic K3 potash mine near Esterhazy, Saskatchewan where he worked as miner operator.
“Our union is deeply saddened by this tragic news. We grieve the loss of our member and we extend our deepest sympathies and solidarity with his loved ones, co-workers and local union,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne.
The Unifor member died on December 15 during a workplace incident that is currently under investigation. The local and the Unifor Health and Safety Department are seeking to be a part of the process.
“The safety of our members at the mine must be the top priority,” said local president Ray Bucsis. “It’s very important that workers be involved in this investigation.”
Local 892 represents more than 850 workers across K1, K2, and K3
