A railway line used to ship alumina from RUSAL's giant Friguia refinery in Guinea has reopened after the end of a three-day protest by former workers over back pay, a RUSAL source told Reuters on Thursday.
"They have been given assurances that the money transfer was already initiated by RUSAL into a Ministry of Mines account," the source said, asking not to be named.
It was the second time this month that the former workers blocked the vital railway line from the plant, which produces about 618,000 tonnes of alumina per year.
A RUSAL spokesperson in Moscow told Reuters the Friguia refinery had continued normal operations throughout the protests, adding that the plant has storage facilities on site for the alumina it produces.
