Kennecott announces layoffs after Bingham Canyon slide

On Thursday, fear became fact for workers at Kennecott Utah Copper. The massive April 10

Kennecott informed union officials Thursday afternoon that an unspecified number of the
company’s 2,100 employees will be laid off later this month because the landslide is projected to
cut mine production by 50 percent. Salt Lake Tribune
