TURKISH MINE DISASTER: Unions take strike action, blaming “murderous” lack of safety and privatisation

Turkish trade unions are staging a one day strike today in protest at the Soma mine disaster which has left over 200 dead.

An as yet unexplained explosion took the lives of 246 miners and around 700 may still be trapped underground.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited the area but had his car attacked as hundreds of protesters and angry relatives besieged his car.
