South African gold mines face Amcu strike

Members of South Africa's more radical mineworkers union, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu), have voted to strike in the country's gold mines, rejecting an 8% wage increase accepted by the rival National Union of Mineworkers after its three-day strike. Amcu president Joseph Mathunjwa said that Amcu would continue negotiations with the Chamber of Mines before workers downed tools.
