Rio Tinto Scrambles to Avoid Repeat Strike at Mongolian Mine: Report
According to the non-governmental organization OT Watch, which is in contact with the mine workers, wages have decreased by up to 80%.Rio Tinto Group (NYSE:RIO) is reportedly in negotiations with workers at its Oyu Tolgoi copper operations in Mongolia to prevent further industrial action.
据报道，力拓集团 (NYSE:RIO)正在与其蒙古国乌力地区铜矿操作工人进行谈判，以防止进一步的行业行动。
The move follows a previous strike in May, prompted by a significant wage reduction, reported Reuters.
此举是继五月的之前的罢工之后采取的，据路透社报道，罢工是因为薪资大幅降低。
Notably, changes to Mongolia's Labor Law, effective from the beginning of 2022, led Rio Tinto to recalculate employee allowances.
值得注意的是，蒙古国劳动法的变更导致力拓集团重新计算了员工津贴，该变更自2022年年初起生效。
According to the non-governmental organization OT Watch, which is in contact with the mine workers, wages have decreased by up to 80%.
根据非政府组织OT Watch的消息，该组织正在与矿工们保持联系，工资已经降低了高达80％。
OT Watch Director Sukhgerel Dugersuren told Reuters, "A request to start negotiations was sent and OT is to reply by July 5, 2024. Another strike is possible if 70% of key demands on wages and 50% of other demands are not met."
OT Watch董事Sukhgerel Dugersuren告诉路透社:“已经发送了开始谈判的请求，OT将在2024年7月5日之前回复。如果薪资的70%的关键诉求和50％的其他诉求没有得到满足，可能会再次罢工”。
"The key demand of workers is to bring wages to similar levels paid for the same type of work performed in other Rio Tinto mines."
“工人的主要要求是将工资带到其他力拓矿山同类型工作的同等水平。”
He added that the workers were being paid a "miserable $1,596 per month for work far from home". According to government data, the average monthly mining salary in Australia is A$10,413 ($6,919), which the report highlighted.
他补充说，这些工人正在“为远离家乡的微薄15696美元的月收入工作”。根据政府数据，澳大利亚矿业平均月薪为A$10,413 ($6,919)，这篇文章也提到了这一点。
According to OT Watch, during the strike from May 10-17, all open pit and underground mining operations were halted. Workers reported that this stoppage may have caused some structural issues underground.
据OT Watch称，从5月10日至17日的罢工中，所有露天和地下采矿作业都停止了。工人们报告说，这一停工可能导致地下出现一些结构问题。
Rio Tinto commented that, "The stand-down did not affect mine operations and there was no material impact to mine production."
力拓集团表示：“这次停工没有影响矿山运营，对矿山生产没有实质影响。”
