An atmosphere of gloom hangs over Alcoa's Kwinana refinery as rumours spread about the future of its alumina operations. The refinery has been in operation since 1963 and employs about a thousand personnel. The Western Australian refinery, located about 22 km south of Perth, produces about 2 million tonnes of alumina annually.
Alcoa previously announced that it will shed 15,000 jobs globally but there will be no cuts to its workforce in WA.
