Rio Tinto ready to build Simandou after almost 30 years of setbacks
Simandou has faced delays due to legal disputes, political changes, and the challenges of building a 600 km rail and port infrastructure.
Two powerful Australian unions have joined forces to try to take on Rio Tinto Ltd at its iron ore mines, where workers have not had union representation for around two decades, the two unions said on Monday.
The Australian Workers’ Union (AWU) and the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) confirmed a media report that they have put aside years of conflict and decided to launch a campaign to attract workers at the world no.2 iron ore miner’s Western Australian mines.
