JOHANNESBURG Oct 15 (Reuters) – Kumba Iron Ore has
dismissed workers who had embarked on an illegal strike at its
giant Sishen mine in South Africa and failed to report for
disciplinary hearings, the company said on Monday.
Kumba also said it had served the illegal strikers with a
court order to immediately leave the company’s premises or be
removed by police.
The company suspended production at the mine on Oct. 4 and
is losing around 120,000 tonnes of production per day.
