Platinum Mine Company which is owned by Anglo-American Platinum.

The mining company is highly strike-prone organization. It has
witnessed several strikes with violent incidents that have lost
more than 50% of the overall yearly working hour. For example- 45
people were killed at the Marikana Lonmin mine during a
wage-related strike. It all started with a misconception of rising
of a 22% hike in wage, which was a false rumour. All 9,000 workers
continued to strike there. Hence, it ended up with negotiation of
7.7% hike in wage.

merging of Anglo-American Platinum, and Lonmin an Impala Platinum.
The strike was fruitless as the employees lost 47% of their overall
wage with this merge.
