As well as the mine's questionable safety record, workers' benefits have been slashed, unions discouraged and employees are paid as little as £53 a month, despite rising copper prices.
This is not capitalism. It's slavery. Unions are a right of assembly. Capitalists and workers can make their bargain through unions if it is the most expeditious way to accommodate one another. Communists don't permit bargaining. Unions in communist societies are as useless as mammaries on a bull.
The Chinese aren’t communist, they’re fascist.

I'm sorry, but I get the distinct impression that you think everyone is somehow entitled to work in an Osha certified air conditioned workplace. This is Zambia we are talking about, not America. They complain that the miners are paid as little as 53 pounds per month. That is 100 U.S. dollars per month, $1200 a year. You know how much the average Zambian makes per year? $395 dollars. Thats right, these "underpaid" miners according to the Brits are earning 3 times what they would working for domestic Zambian companies. If the miners don't like their job, they can quit anytime.
