THE AUSTRALIAN Workers Union says Rio Tinto is jeopardising its workers safety by not letting them no where they stand.
The company has announced that the contractual alliance between refinery operational companies Fleur, Monadelphous and Transpacific Industries had ceased. The spokesperson could not confirm whether there would be job losses.
The Australian Workers Union's Tony Beers says the company must let its workers know where they stand as there is nothing more dangerous than workers in such industries as this without their minds on the job.
Beers claims blokes walking around the work site with fears of being tapped on the shoulder and told they don't have a job leads to safety risks. He says safety breeches in the mining industry, where heavy machinery is used, often leads to death.
