Workers at UC Rusal's Friguira alumina refinery in Guinea have been on strike for three days over wage levels and medical coverage, according to Guinea media reports.
Workers at Friguira went on strike on Wednesday April 4 demanding a minimum wage of $400 per month, compared to the $200 they are currently paid.
They are also demanding that Rusal, one of the world's largest aluminium producers, increase their medical benefits.
Guinea media quoted workers saying that the strike has paralyzed operations at Friguira, which has a nameplate production of 630 000 tpy of aluminium.
Union officials say the strike is indefinite and follows months of protracted negotiations.
"The indefinite strike followed the refusal of company officials to consider our demands," Barry Kabinet, a union spokesperson said, adding that no negotiations were currently underway.
Workers have been pressuring management with their demands since December and the intervention of Guinea president Alpha Condé dissuaded them from embarking on industrial action, he said.
Management at the Russian mining major has declared the strike illegal and has also downplayed its impact on production.
"The company [will undertake] all necessary actions to end the strike as soon as possible," Rusal said. "It is expected that the possible production losses will be insignificant and will not impact Rusal's general operational results."
