  • IndustriALL Global Union, Unite the Union and London Mining Network brought together a number of trade unionists and communities affected by the mining giant's operations to call for an end to Rio Tinto's "poor treatment of workers, indigenous communities and the environment".

    Speaking to IM, Kemal Ozkan, assistant general secretary of IndustriALL Global Union and one of the protest organisers, said that many Rio Tinto investors do not know exactly what is going on at Rio Tinto operations and that the group was working to bring these issues to the forefront.

    "We are demonstrating before the AGM (...) as what we have observed is what Rio Tinto claims to be is not the reality. What we have is the complete opposite to what they report in their documents. This is why IndustriALL Global Union has produced its own report this time called 'The Way it Really Works'," Ozkan said.
