Former Bougainville Copper Limited employees are planning to register their interest with the ABG Committee regarding outstanding payments at the close of the Panguna mine in 1990.

Spokesman for the group and former BCL Employee, Linus Konukung told New Dawn FM today that former employees will register their interest to the ABG negotiation team that former employees were not paid their outstanding entitlements and want them settled.

Mr. Konunkung said that superannuation of employees were not paid to employees and most employees were not retrenched but had to leave due to the escalation tense situation at the place of work.

He said that as BCL, Panguna landowners and the ABG are preparing to negotiate the former employees also want to make sure that their grievances are also addressed.
