One of the world’s largest copper mines avoided a protracted labor dispute late Thursday as Kennecott workers approved a new contract with Rio Tinto.
Kennecott's mine towers over nearby neighborhoods in 2021. Union workers and Rio Tinto reached a new labor contract.
In a statement Friday morning, Rio Tinto Kennecott Managing Director Gaby Poirier said the company worked closely and productively with the unions to reach an agreement that he says is fair, benefits employees and their families, and enables Rio Tinto to grow. At the rally, Brandon Dew, district representative for the International Union of Operating Engineers, said his members were prepared to strike as a last resort if no deal could be reached. Dew, co-chair of the negotiating committee, said the company and labor groups were working in good faith and that he was optimistic about landing a new contract.
