Australian company which was operating at the Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi’s (ETT) Tavan Tolgoi mine has finally left Mongolia after long running legal battles.

Prior to the breakdown in relations the company has transferred more than 200 its workers to Chinese company according to a contract. But these workers have lost their jobs and remain jobless for a long time. In protest against this situation, Mr Erdene, trade union leader within Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi company set himself on fire during press conference which was held at National Information Center today.
He has been protesting against Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi's decision to sack 200 workers in December. He poured a bottle of gasoline upon his body and burned himself.
