The 12-week strike at the salt mine in Goderich, ON, is over.
Workers voted to accept a three-year deal reached between Unifor Local 16-O and the mine owner, Compass Minerals.
The salt mine, the world's largest, employs more than 350 unionized workers. They had been on strike since April 27. One of the key issues had been the employer's use of overtime.

Noront Resources, the company seeking to create a new ferrochrome production facility in Northern Ontario, said Timmins is still on the short list.
And now, the short list has gotten even shorter.
Earlier this year, Noront called for proposals from Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Timmins to the creation of some sort of a smelter to refine chromite from the much touted Ring of Fire mining development in the James Bay Lowlands. The company recently revealed that Thunder Bay and Sudbury have both been removed from consideration for that proposal. It leaves only Timmins and Sault Ste. Marie, said the company.

Led by Dr. J.A. Scott, a professor of bioengineering at the Bharti School of Engineering, the research was published in a recent issue of Phycologia, a journal that features work related to the scientific study of algae, or phycology.

Labrador may not be poised for an invasion of thousands of starry-eyed prospectors leading mule-trains and toting pickaxes and sifting pans, but there is a bit of a gold rush developing in the Big Land and prospecting for the valuable metal figures prominently in Newfoundland and Labrador's future, according to the provincial government.

Canadian government departments should work closer together to determine how the interaction of forests and water is being disrupted by fossil fuel extraction, mining and logging, says a Canadian scientist at the centre of a new report presented to the United Nations.
Irena Creed, a Canadian biology professor and executive director of the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan, co-chaired a 19-member panel that compiled evidence showing how the health of the planet's forests is intricately tied to the safeguarding of sustainable access to water.
