Amplats, the world’s largest platinum company, fired 643 workers at the Mototolo mine after an illegal strike. The workers, represented by General Industrial Workers Union of South Africa, went on strike following a dispute over benefits. A court indictment was issued that was intended to prevent the strike, yet it went ignored by the union and striking workers. Following the strike, workers were dismissed. The union intends to speak to labor courts regarding the case.
