- Cameco (NYSE:CCJ -2.3%) says it has started shutting down operations at its McArthur River uranium mine and Key Lake mill in Saskatchewan after the union representing workers at those operations issued a strike notice.
- The United Steelworkers union advised CCJ of its intention to begin strike action on Aug. 30, and CCJ says it then issued a lockout notice to ensure a safe and orderly shutdown of its facilities.
- CCJ does not expect any labor disruption to its 2014 uranium delivery commitments, but says it may draw on a variety of supply sources including primary production, and existing purchase commitments and inventories.
