Sadly many people recently lost their jobs, for some, unexpectedly and only weeks/days before Christmas. This has no doubt left many people stranded and at a time when they were planning Christmas and holidays.
After a turbulent 2014 for many, most now need to draw a line in the sand and move ahead with positivity and a sense of purpose. So with that in mind and as a nod to the past and looking back at 85 previous editions of MPi News' we decided to reprint an article from 2000 to kick-off the New Year ... It is as relevant today as it was then.
Those who made it to our 20th birthday celebration a couple of weeks ago, know that we did not make a formal presentation on the night.

For Busy Mining Exec's - The list of lists you must have ...
Why you can't afford to shirk Responsibility ...
So, you've got a great new job on the mines and absolutely no idea what to pack for your first FIFO roster.
In the mining industry, Christmas can mean several different things
There's no doubt the Fly In Fly Out lifestyle is tough on the families of mining workers.
It's not a competition. We're BOTH exhausted!
There's a FIFO phrase that seems to be popping up a lot lately and it's called 'Black Day'.
A couple of years ago I decided to quit my job without having a new employment.
One of our earliest whole project recruitment jobs was awarded to us by the specialist underground contract mining company, Byrnecut. This certainly cuts costs and sometimes gives an operation the best chance of survival, as well as giving the best chance of survival to all the staff who DO remain on board.
