The Swedish Union for Service and Communications Employees (SEKO) blames Vy Norrland Nattåg (part of Vy/ex-NSB) for the deteriorating state of cleanliness on night trains between #Stockholm, #Luleå, #Kiruna and #Narvik.

Previous contractor Sodexo employed 15 full-time cleaners. New contractor ISS employs only 6 employees, 4 part-time.

Talga AB får tillstånd till grafitgruva
Mark- och miljödomstolen lämnar Talga AB tillstånd till gruvverksamhet vid Nunasvaara Södra i Kiruna kommun. Tillståndet omfattar brytning i dagbrott av 120 000 ton grafitmalm årligen. Domstolen tillåter inte att tillståndet tas i anspråk även om det överklagas.

RT @Anders_Lindberg: Roligt med nära skidutflykt på sjön Luossajärvi. Vyer av staden och omgivningarna som man inte ser i vardagen.

Je suis en train de lire les articles français sur la découverte du gisement de #terresrares à #Kiruna. J'ai entendu l'info sur un bulletin de la RTBF cet aprem.
Ni ces articles, ni la radio belge ne semblent trouver important de préciser que ce sont des terres #Sami

J'appelle d'ailleurs tous les acteurs européens à lancer leurs satellites depuis le territoire de l'Union Européenne 🇪🇺.

Depuis #Kourou ou #Kiruna.

Il est plus facile de bénéficier d'un soutien de l'UE, et de garantir la sécurité des lancements 🛡️

Bienvenue au nouveau port spatial de #Kiruna, en Suède ! 🇸🇪🚀🇪🇺

Il sera complémentaire du port spatial de l'Europe à Kourou, notamment pour des petits lancements.

Ja, självfallet väljer det statliga gruvbolaget att publicera detta när det är EU-möte i #Kiruna. Det gör det dock inte mindre viktigt att börja bryta REE för att göra oss mindre beroende av Ryssland och Kina.
