Rio Tinto Scrambles to Avoid Repeat Strike at Mongolian Mine: Report
Portfolio Pulse from Lekha Gupta
Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) is negotiating with workers at its Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia to prevent another strike, following a previous strike in May due to significant wage reductions. Changes to Mongolia’s Labor Law led to recalculations of employee allowances, resulting in wage decreases of up to 80%. If key demands are not met, another strike is possible. Rio Tinto claims the previous strike did not materially impact mine production. Investors can gain exposure to Rio Tinto via VanEck Steel ETF (NYSE:SLX) and NEOS ETF Trust Mast Global Battery Recycling & Production ETF (NYSE:EV).
