Workers at Alcoa's Western Australian refineries vote against new proposed agreement

EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 1MINS READ

Workers at Alcoa’s Western Australia have voted to reject a new workplace agreement and continue their strike, according to Reuters reports. The Australian Workers Union (AWU) today said 80 percent of workers had voted against company’s new workplace agreement as it offered zero job security.

Around 1,500 of its 1,600 workers at three alumina refineries and two bauxite mines walked out on August 8 over a new workplace agreement.  The company estimates the industrial action impacted alumina production by 15,000 tonnes.

Alcoa said the company will continue to monitor the situation and welcome an alternative proposal from the Australian Workers Union (AWU).

“This decisive vote should provide Alcoa management with the impetus to come back to the table with job security assurances,” said AWU National Secretary Daniel Waltonof.

The operations normally produce about 9 million tonnes a year, or 25,000 tonnes a day. The refineries and mines are owned by Alcoa of Australia Ltd, which is part of the AWAC group of companies. Sixty percent of AWAC is held by Alcoa and 40 percent by Alumina Ltd.
