    Gotta love how South African miners get down. In the end, they'll probably get what they are striking to protest for. Here in America, the miners do the usual dance and end up in the end...with little to nothing of what they asked for in benefits and pensions. I have a feeling if some U.S. miners broke out a few machete's at their bosses, negotiations would go a lot better for them.
