Mining giant Rio Tinto is the official Olympic supplier of the metal used to make the 2012 Olympic medals – yet it locked out 780 workers who are standing up against the company’s aggressive contracting-out demands at a highly profitable aluminum smelter in Alma, Quebec. Canada is hosting the International Olympic Committee from May 23-25–let’s deliver the message to the organizers loud and clear: Drop Rio Tinto and its tarnished Olympic medals! Go to http://www.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/solidarityforever/show_campaign.cgi?c=1391 to tell the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) that Rio Tinto has no place in the Olympic Games.
