One protester was killed as Indonesian police fired shots amid clashes with striking workers from Papua's Freeport-McMoran mine...Thousands of workers at the remote gold and copper mine have been on strike since 15 September, demanding better wages. A union official said the firing began when strikers tried to stop replacement workers heading to the mine...Indonesian staff at Freeport say they are striking because they want higher salaries, to match those of their counterparts in other parts of Freeport's operations around the world. The workers want at least a five-fold increase in their current salary of about $3 (£1.90) an hour...[Freeport] maintains that it is one of the largest employers in Papua, and without the jobs the mine provides, many Papuans would be far worse off than they are.
