CONAKRY, March 11 (Reuters) - The main union at Guinea's CBG, the world's top bauxite miner, suspended its strike on Thursday ahead of negotiations on grievances due next week.
A strike call was launched on Wednesday over work conditions but a CBG source said it was only partially followed and production was unaffected.
"We decided to suspend the strike ahead of negotiations which should start on Tuesday," Oumar Ly, secretary-general of CBG's main union told Reuters by telephone, saying the strike was followed at CBG's Sangaredi mine but not at the Kamsar mine.
CBG is a joint venture between Alcoa and Rio Tinto and is expected to produce more than 13 million tonnes of bauxite this year, or 80 percent of Guinea's total output. The West African nation is the world's top supplier of the aluminium ore.
