    A concerning time for Southland's Tiwai aluminium smelter employees

    A concerning time for Southland's Tiwai aluminium smelter employees

    23 October 2019
    Rio Tinto, the owner of the country's largest electricity consumer, is considering closure of the Bluff plant as part of a strategic review.

    E Tu Union Southland organiser, Trevor Hobbs, says it's tough news for employees.

    He says it's unsettling working in an environment where you don't know if you'll have a job this time next week.
