Evraz said Tuesday that it had resumed operations of its steel and vanadium asset in South Africa, following a shutdown caused by a strike last month.
"Evraz announces the restart of operations at Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium, which had been temporarily suspended as a result of an industrial action announced by Evraz Highveld's largest union, NUMSA, at the end of July," the company said in a statement.
The operations at Highveld, which represents less than 1 percent of the company's consolidated core earnings, were suspended after its workers went on strike against the decision to convert a three-shift system to a four-shift system.
Evraz said an agreement was reached to provide certain compensation for employees who would have been financially affected by the implementation of the four-shift system.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
