JOHANNESBURG Nov 2 (Reuters) – Global diversified mining
firm Xstrata has dismissed 400 workers involved in an
illegal strike at its Kroondal chrome mine in South Africa, the
company said on Friday.
The mine employs a total of 619 workers. The sacked miners
have until 1300 GMT on Friday to appeal their dismissals.
“Most of production at Kroondal is down as we are operating
with a minimal percentage of our staff,” said Christopher
Tsatsawane, spokesman at Xstrata’s alloys unit.
