South African Gold Miners strike for higher wages!

The miners in South Africa are definitely fighting for the right cause, and if i were to be one of them i wouldn't think twice about joining the strikes.

I think that the increase should be far better than that. I mean it is still only $60 a month.

I think a pay raise is not enough I believe they should get better working conditions too and I think that is to small of a pay raise.

African has it hard enough and seeing these workers striking for a better life is only justified. It really shows that you can fight for you're well being in today's world.

If the miners are being paid that low of a wage they are definatly right to put together a strike. And if the company is losing that much money during the strike, a higher wage would not be a problem.

They need to strike to get attention, and if the world is watching then their cause might be helped.

They're the people who fill people's needs to own gold and stuff! They do the work for other's pleasures, and they're paid so lowly from it. I believe they should be given a much bigger raise, along with better conditions to work in

i believe this is a good thing to fight for and i think more people should join in and hopefully more places will learn and also start to strike for higher better rights

i feel like they should be fighting for this because its verry hazordous and could cost them their lives.
