Rio Tinto owns a 19.8% interest in the Pebble Mine

Locked Out 2010 is the story of 560 unionized borax miners in the desert town of Boron, California who faced off against Rio Tinto, a British-Australian multi-billion dollar global corporation. In 2009, Rio Tinto's net earnings were almost 5 billion dollars.

Rio Tinto locked them out of work on January 31st, 2010 and replaced them with scabs.

This documentary tells the David and Goliath story of how the workers faced financial hardships but stood strong during the 107 day lockout and beat back a multinational corporation. It further reveals Rio Tinto's egregious practices in the U.S. and around the globe--from Michigan to Australia to Bougainville.
