Workers at Rusal's Guinea bauxite mine Compagnie des Bauxites de Dian Dian (COBAD) walked off the job on Thursday for demanding better working conditions and higher salary, according to a union leader at COBAD.
Production at COBAD is said to have halted due to the strike which Rusal calls illegal.
As the world's second-largest producer of bauxite, Guinea produced 83 million tonnes of bauxite in 2021, according to statistics from the country's mines ministry.
COBAD produced 3.59 million tonnes of bauxite last year, while Rusal's other Guinea operation, Compagnie des Bauxites de Kindia, produced 2.65 million tonnes, according to the mines ministry.
