Icelandic workers to block Rio Tinto aluminium exports over wage dispute

Workers at Rio Tinto’s unit in Iceland voted to block exports of aluminium from the Hafnarfjordur plant in the southwest of the North Atlantic island due to a long-running dispute over wage contracts.

The workers, members of the Hilf trade union, said late on Tuesday that they would stop loading aluminium on vessels from February 24.
