The strike, which has been announced for 2 December, is expected to force a total shut down of operations. Negotiations to avert the strike are ongoing, but trade unionists report little confidence in a swift solution after having been intimidated by management. If no collective bargaining agreement is reached between the six involved trade unions and the management by December 2, the strike will begin. The main point of disagreement is Rio Tinto Alcan’s intention to hire more contractors instead of employing workers directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgrapevine.is\u002Fnews\u002F2015\u002F11\u002F23\u002Fpreparations-to-shut-down-aluminium-smelter-underway\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fgrapevine.is\u002Fnews\u002F2015\u002F11\u002F23\u002Fpreparations-to-shut-down-aluminium-smelter … \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgrapevine.is\u002Fnews\u002F2015\u002F11\u002F06\u002Faluminium-smelter-workers-vote-to-go-on-strike\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fgrapevine.is\u002Fnews\u002F2015\u002F11\u002F06\u002Faluminium-smelter-workers-vote-to-go-on-strike\u002F\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
