SAFRICA-MINING-LABOUR-UNION-STRIKE-UNREST
Caption: Photographers help an injured man (C) dressed in the red color of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) after he was beaten up by striking miners and as South African police officers fire rubber bullets, stun grenades and tear gas to disperse miners who were trying to prevent a rally organised by the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) in Rustenburg, northwest of Johannesburg on October 27, 2012. Bullet casings littered the ground and a helicopter circled above, with police sirens howling, as the protesters were chased into the area surrounding the stadium. The clashes came a day after the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) announced that it had reached a deal with the world's number one platinum producer Amplats to rehire 12,000 workers who were fired for a wildcat strike. Striking workers are disagree with the deal, which would signal a further winding down of a wave of wildcat strikes that have rocked platinum and gold mines since August.
