Rio Tinto staff receive 3.5% salary increase

RIO Tinto has announced a 3.5% salary increase for its staff below the executive director level.

The rise comes as the debt-laden miner plans to seal its $28.2b refinancing deal with China's state-owned Chinalco.

However, the pay increase won’t benefit the 14,000 workers which have recently been sacked globally.

The majority of which had jobs at the miner’s West Australian iron ore operations and the Australian aluminium and coal division.
