flag Tiwai Point workers strike May 4, 6, 8, and 10 over failed wage talks.

flag Workers at New Zealand's Tiwai Point aluminium smelter are striking on May 4, 6, 8, and 10 after more than two years of failed wage and condition negotiations. flag Represented by the E tū union, employees accuse Rio Tinto of making little progress despite the company's strong financial performance, which includes over $25 billion in earnings. flag The union argues the action is a last resort to secure fair treatment and recognition, while the company maintains its offer is competitive and has secured long-term electricity agreements for the plant.
