A Labor Legacy or Failed Redistribution of Wealth?

摘要

As this edition of E&MJ was going to press, Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), the largest platinum miner, had dismissed 12,000 striking miners. Wildcat strikes were spreading beyond the bushveld to the rand. Miners had walked off the job at gold mines and iron ore mines. It's now estimated that more than 100,000 miners in South Africa were on strike (See, News-Africa, p. 18), seeking wage-related concessions.
