Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Anglo Coal, the coal-mining unit of Anglo American Plc, may face a strike if it doesn’t meet demands from miners over child-care facilities, funeral cover and the way workers are tested for the HIV virus that causes AIDS.

The National Union of Mineworkers is also concerned over the way workers and contract workers are graded in terms of job scales, which affect salaries, Lesiba Seshoka, a spokesman for the union, said in an interview today. The union presented the company with the demands on Nov. 7, giving it a week to respond.
