Rio Tinto workers demand respect

Mining and Maritime media release 22 Apr 2010

Rio Tinto was again warned today of growing financial exposure if the company refuses to respect communities, the environment and workers.


Comparing the company to the mining interests in the film Avatar, protesters in costumes from the film stood with workers outside Rio Tinto’s Melbourne headquarters, alerting the public to on-going abuses of the environment, indigenous people and workers.
