Mali miners call strike with Randgold, Resolute affected

Mine workers in Mali will go on strike this month for five days as the biggest union accuse employers of treating its members unfairly due to their affiliation with the employee organisation. Workers will go on strike from October 24 at mines belonging to gold producers including Resolute Mining and Robex Resources, Mahamadou Konte, a spokesperson for the National Section of Mines and Industries, said by phone on Tuesday. The union is also in dispute with Randgold Resources over unpaid productivity bonuses, Konte said.
