African workers go on strike-JULIA WOLTJEN

SUMMARY: This week over 70,000 workers in Africa are going on strike because they are under prayed. They are asking for double their current pay. The companies these workers work for are the 3largesr platinum producers in the world, but they say they can't pay for the raises because there is a low demand and the production prices are going up.

ANALYSIS: Good for the workers for standing up for what they want but they need to understand that the companies can't pay for what they are asking for. That could all be lies but you never know. I hope they are able to peacefully make an agreement!

  1. I think that strike can be dangerous for their jobs, but I guess their reason is plausable.
