VEDANTA has been given two days to respond to calls from the Tasmanian Government to pay workers while a mudslide is cleared from its Mt Lyell Copper Mine in Queenstown.

The massive multi-national company which is building the world's biggest copper smelter in India has failed to pay the $1.5 million a month wage bill.

Australian Workers Union national secretary Paul Howes says the union will mount a global campaign to put pressure on the company to pay the miners if the group does not do the right thing.
