 Alcoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alcoa's monopoly was effectively ended by the disposal of Defense Corporation Plants after WWII by the War Assets Administration.
The Alcoa smelter project has been shrouded in secrecy and while signings of major business agreements are usually publicized in the local newspapers complete with photo opportunities, the signing of the agreement for the 1.5 billion dollar Alcoa smelter, publicised by Alcoa worldwide, was done quietly and the local press was not even invited.
The Trinidad government seems determined to let Alcoa go ahead with their project at all cost and the hastily put together Environmental Clearance Applications and Environmental Impact Assessments for the project have sparked massive opposition from the local residents.

 MSN Resource Centre - Maquilas/EPZs: Alcoa firings, Oct 2001
In the absence of a union in those Alcoa plants, the workers committee was fulfilling the role of a real union, negotiating benefits for the rank and file and deterring abuses committed by supervisors, managers and foremen.
The committee would be in charge of bringing the workers' concerns to meetings with plant managers.
In fact, they have already filed a lawsuit and continue to put pressure on the Coahuila state government and labor authorities and on the Alcoa management.

 Alcoa
Alcoa lawyers have suggested that Bastrop County could be liable to pay up to $120 million in damages if it objects - that’s a lot of money possibly at risk for a local government whose annual budget is roughly $10 million.
The underlying assumption - that Alcoa could pay its Mexican workers such low wages because the cost of living is lower than in the USA - was refuted by the report.
This will enable it to buy electricity cheaply - which is useful considering around 60 percent of the cost of producing aluminium is the cost of energy.

Once in operation, the lessee of the new plants would presumably sell power to other customers, either privately or on the open market; the aluminum smelter would continue to operate mainly on power supplied by the remaining fourth plant, a newer, TXU-operated facility capable of supplying 80% of its power needs.
Hodson said that Alcoa is in negotiations with other companies to go in on the venture, but declined to specify which ones.
If the scheme works, it will please not only worried Rockdale residents but Austinites, as well – the Alcoa facility contributes to our air-quality problem as we border on nonattainment of federal ozone standards, though more of the region's problems are caused by automobile emissions.
