Guinea threatens RUSAL workers as strike continues

On Tuesday, workers at RUSAL’s (0486.HK) Friguia alumina refinery in Guinea blocked production for the sixth day in a row after initial negotiation efforts failed and the government threatened to send in security forces.

The press release is quoted as saying:

The plant, the largest industrial project in the fractious West African nation, has a capacity to produce around 640,000 tonnes of alumina per year, which the Russian firm then ships around the world to be refined further into aluminum.
