Eighty thousand gold miners have begun a strike in South Africa. As the strike began the national union of mine workers said it would accept a 10% raise instead of their original demand of 60%. The General Secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers, Frans Baleni told the BBC that if the gold companies offered a 10% wage increase, this would be accepted and the strike would be called off. Despite this development,the main gold mining union has also issued a hard-hitting(單刀直入的) statement, saying the strike would change the gold mining landscape forever. It said it was aware of the devastating (毀滅性的)impact industrial action would have on the economy, calling it largely a white man’s economy with no benefits for poor black mine workers.
