@@Kingkong-zs9sz When I left four years ago, I was on $185,000 pa + accommodation in a building you'd have to see to believe, private health insurance paid for, all food, flights to and from Sydney. A fellow at work told me just the other day that they are now on $240,000 pa (that's for 2 weeks on - two weeks off so twith a block and a half off each year for holidays, that's 25 solid weeks per year of work) but hardly ever get to drive a train. Great money if you can stand the boredom. He also said that not in any of the last 6 years have they moved as many tons or ore as we did in 2017 (the last year of drivers).

Lots of drivers are still there earning more mney per year than I did up to four years ago and I dare say that some of them actually enjoy what they're doing now. As for the ones who left for other companies, they did that to continue driving trains when they could've stayed and spent their days sitting around playing cards so your assertion of them being lazy is about as stupid as you are.

I thought the same. in the clip it was a ship with Japanese flag on it. Maybe ask them what type of iron/steel they want and than make it in Australia and send the more valuable item to Japan. China is buying a lot of this iron too but they often make rubbish out of it. It's just a waste of energy. Maybe renewable energy can help to at first run the company there and the workshop and maybe a foundry for the iron.

Here I was thinking that it's absolutely great that we have Australians employed by Rio Tinto , but unfortunately everything that they are digging up in coal is exported to China, instead of us having coal fired power plants for our energy needs and the majority of our iron ore also goes to China so they can make steel that is nothing like the quality steel that Australia used to make.

@@Qminnie1 They are a nasty piece of work. The reason they are so big is because of all the manipulative and deceptive tactics they have used with their multinational agreements. Having said that, they couldn't have done those things if governments in question weren't stupid enough to go along with it. The Tiwi Point aluminum smelter in New Zealand for example, was sold to the NZ government in the 70's on the basis of providing 2000 jobs to boost the economy. But what they actually did was convince the NZ government to pay for the construction of an entire hydroelectric dam to power the smelter and then sell them the electricity at a fraction of the actual cost. When I look at the resources this company now has I see all the money the NZ government was stupid enough to let them just walk away with. And when a company has an attitude like that in one area of their operation you can be damn sue it infests everything else as well including how they treat their employees.

You're not very well informed, and apparently you are unable to perform the most basic of internet searches: Rio Tinto Group is a British-Australian multinational company that is the world's second-largest metals and mining corporation (behind BHP). It was founded in 1873 when a group of investors purchased a mine complex on the Rio Tinto, in Huelva, Spain, from the Spanish government. It has grown through a long series of mergers and acquisitions. Although primarily focused on extraction of minerals, it also has significant operations in refining, particularly the refining of bauxite and iron ore. It has joint head offices in London, England and Melbourne, Australia. Rio Tinto is a dual-listed company traded on both the London Stock Exchange, where it is a component of the FTSE 100 Index, and the Australian Securities Exchange, where it is a component of the S&P/ASX 200 index. American depositary shares of Rio Tinto's British branch are also traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
