Lonmin miners in South Africa sign pay deal

إظهار جميع الإشارات
Striking workers at South Africa's Lonmin platinum mine say they will return to work...after accepting a pay rise of 22 per cent. The planned return to work...will end more than five weeks of crippling and bloody industrial action that left at least 34 miners dead in a police crackdown last month..."The actual increase is about 22 per cent, which is very high," said Bishop Jo Seoka, South African Council of Churches president who negotiated the talks between the miners and their employer...[Jacob] Zuma [South Africa's president] blamed poor living and working conditions of miners on the apartheid past and the failures of mining companies to honour a charter to improve the lives of miners. [also refers to Anglo American]
