Business Day *Miners face increased danger - SACP* *Sapa, Business Report, Johannesburg, 14 October 2010*Increased dangers are being faced by mineworkers world-wide and the working class in general, the SA Communist Party said on Wednesday.
"The number of fatalities in the mining sector and brutalities that workers are exposed to on a daily basis which compromises their well being - is just but one example of how capitalism daily continues to fail humanity," it said in a statement.
"This calls for intense workplace mobilisation to defeat capitalism and install democratic worker control of industry and a more humane system in the form of socialism."
The SACP said capitalists had no respect for human life and continued to place workers in danger in their "pursuit of profits at all cost".
It said it would continue to work together with the National Union of Mineworkers to improve mine safety and with the transformation of the workplace.
The party also congratulated and thanked the rescue team that was currently busy rescuing the 33 miners in Chile who had been trapped underground for 69 days.
"We wish all the mineworkers a good recovery and good health going forward," SACP said. -- Sapa
