TORONTO (Reuters) – Rio Tinto expects the labor dispute between the workers and the management of Canada’s two biggest rail networks will affect its ability to receive raw materials at several sites across Canada and ship products to customers in North America, the miner told Reuters on Thursday.
Rio Tinto added that it has contingency plans in place to minimize impact that includes trucking certain materials and products and increasing use of its own rail network.
