Anglo American Platinum fired 12,000 striking miners

RE: Anglo American Platinum fired 12,000 striking miners
In that case, the strike is unecessary; breaches of contract should be handled by a court. If you sign a contract saying you will work x hours a week for y amount of pay, and the company gives you less, you should be able to go to court over it. If you have the necessary documents, it will be an open and shut case.

So yes, an improvement would be creating a court specifically for dealing with this kind of behaviour.

No, and I'm not 100% read up on this case, but it seems to me that a mining company would be wealthy enough to meet whatever demands they had without losing any revenue. I doubt the union asked the company for a ridiculous wage increase. If they did though, getting fired is the union's fault.
