During a meeting of Alcan's EWC, on February 21, 2008, staff representatives received information from the new group's management after the merger with Rio Tinto (73.000 employees) concerning the sale of the "packaging" and "machine-finished products" sectors. The EWC asks Rio Tinto two things: ensure anticipatory information and consultation procedures and create a guarantee fund to help resumption of activities and pay for possible social measures.
