Workers at BHP Billiton Plc in Guinea began a general strike yesterday after failing to reach an agreement over pay, Cherif Camara, the secretary-general of the labor union Bafode said.
Workers were demanding a 200 percent pay increase, Camara said by phone today from Conakry, the capital. “The unlimited strike concerns only the Boffa-Santou-Houda project and workers remain available for the resumption of talks,” he said.
