Icelandic workers voted to block exports of aluminium from Rio Tinto’s Hafnarfjordur plant in the south west of the North Atlantic island due to a long-running wage dispute.
The workers from the Hilf trade union said they would stop loading aluminium on vessels from February 24. Rio Tinto’s Hafnarfjordur plant has an annual capacity of 185 000 t, according to the company’s website.
