PotashCorp says it will temporarily lay off some of the 875 employees who work at two mines in Saskatchewan.
The corporation says its mine in Lanigan will not operate between Nov. 18 and Jan. 12. And its mine in Rocanville will not operate between Dec. 2 and Jan. 12.
A spokesman for the Saskatoon company says it's not clear yet how many workers will be affected by the eight-week layoff.
PotashCorp. says the layoffs are necessary because of a drop in demand for the mineral.
The notice comes only days after some workers at the mine in Lanigan returned to work after a month-long layoff.
