Xstrata-CAW reach tentative deal to end Kidd strike Wed Nov 5, 2008 9:00pm EST reuters.com TORONTO, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Xstrata (XTA.L: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and the union representing workers at the Kidd metallurgical operations in Canada have reached a tentative deal to end a strike that began over a month ago, a union official said on Wednesday. About 700 workers walked off the job on Oct. 1 after contract talks broke down over wages and contract language. The Kidd operation, located near Timmins, Ontario, produces about 1 percent of the world's copper and zinc. The site is separate from the Kidd copper-zinc mine. "(The deal) provides for wage increases and benefit increases and adjustments in language and a signing bonus," said Hemi Mitic, assistant to the president of the Canadian Auto Workers union.
