SAFRICA-MINING-LABOUR-UNION-STRIKE-UNREST
Striking miners shelter themselves as they run away while South African police officers fire rubber bullets, stun grenades and tear gas to disperse miners who were trying to prevent a rally organised by the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) in Rustenburg, northwest of Johannesburg on October 27, 2012. Bullet casings littered the ground and a helicopter circled above, with police sirens howling, as the protesters were chased into the area surrounding the stadium. The clashes came a day after the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) announced that it had reached a deal with the world's number one platinum producer Amplats to rehire 12,000 workers who were fired for a wildcat strike. Striking workers are disagree with the deal, which would signal a further winding down of a wave of wildcat strikes that have rocked platinum and gold mines since August.
