Anglo American Platinum fired 12,000 striking miners

My opinion on this is mixed. I don't think workers should have a right to "strike"; it goes against the entire point of signing a contract. I think there should be ways of getting companies to agree to improving conditions without having to resort to such measures. However, this company's action in firing all 12,000 of them is ridiculous, given that they will most likely lose a lot of money trying to find other people to replace them.
