PSA President Kylie McKelvie with PSA Manager Shay Deguara and Delegates Naomi Fraser and Rachel Smoothy at ABC’s Q&A last night with Lachlan Jarrett and Mitchell Wyatte who have been locked out of their jobs at Oaky North mine for the last 208 days.

“With our families we have sat in the dirt at the front of our gate of our mine to see if we’ll be allowed back in. We were locked out whilst attempting to negotiate a new workplace agreement which included a 0 per cent pay increase.”
