Massacre https://sahistory.org.za/article/marikana-massacre-16-august-2012
On 10 August 2012, workers at the British-owned #Lonmin mine walked out on a #wildcatstrike demanding better pay.
The strike would become best known for a massacre of workers on August 16, but it continued until late September when workers were successful in achieving pay increases of between 11 and 22%.

If Congress doesn’t fuckin step up and say no to Trump’s illegal firing of Carla Hayden, the Librarian of CONGRESS - then I hope all of their staffers turn French on start straight up doing boss-napping shit.
