Gold One International Ltd. fired more than half its employees at its main Modder East unit in South Africa for taking part in what the Australian-based mining company called an illegal strike action last week.
As many as 1,035 workers have been dismissed out of a typical workforce of about 1,800 people at the mine, located 30 kilometers (19 miles) east of Johannesburg, Sydney-based Gold One said today in a statement.
