Anglo American extends pay for workers of fire-hit Australian mine

Australia's Mining And Energy Union has reached an agreement with Anglo American to extend pay until August-end for workers at its Grosvenor mine that was shut earlier this week due to an ongoing underground fire, the two parties said. "We are pleased to confirm payment extension from July 15 to August 31 for all employees and embedded contractors working full-time at Grosvenor in operations or staff roles," the miner said in a joint statement with a regional council and several unions on Friday.
