More on the deplorable wages for mine workers in Africa. Here below is a repeat of a full report on the killing of Chinese mine supervisors in Zambia.

CostMine’s newly published 2012 Survey Results of Canadian Mine Salaries, Wages and Benefits is now available.

Across the USA and Canada in make-shift camps, protestors are demanding something. We are not sure what. But they are upset about the rich getting high wages. I have read articles in which reporters go on about the anger of the protestors about the one percent who take home all the money.
