The world's largest platinum producer Implats in Rustenburg, South Africa, announced the dismissal of 12,000 of the 28,000 striking miners on 26 January, just one day after the police killed one of the miners on strike! One of the affected colleagues documented a text message he had received from the company: "As a consequence of their absence at the hearing where they were supposed to declare that they had participated in an illegal strike action, the company has decided to dismiss them in absentia. They have 3 days to appeal."

Miners rise up against the global environmental catastrophe that has begun!The survival of humanity is being threatened by the capitalist profit economy! Day by day we miners extract earth’s wealth from nature, which is unashamedly being appropriated by the international mining corporations. In future mining will be needed, too, but: Raw materials need to be extracted environmentally appropriately and must not be wasted.

After a successful year for the international miners' movement, we wish you all a Happy New Year 2024
