The WSWS spoke with Rio Tinto miners participating in a rally in Boron, California on February 24. Some 570 Borax mine workers have been locked out for four weeks after the union failed to reach an agreement with the company on a concessions contract.

I did 1 year with Vale....
Hold the line.
Some fights you win some you loose.
But if you don't fight your gonna loose a lot more.
And Vale still sucks.
The big strike of 09 taught them they have no idea how to run a mine. Before the strike we made them billions, Now we don't function anymore as a team no trust low productivity.

A fellow union brother from the Real Tainted Aluminum smelter up in Kitimat, BC, Canada supports you all. I am CAW Local 2301. Our contract is up in July 2012, I have a feeling we'll be in the same situation as you.
I am proud. to be a union worker! If I could, I would come down and join you in support.

Go Boron! If the rest of the world wants to work for 9.70 an hour and no benefits, I guess that's their right.
