Mongolian miners claim injustice

  • 12 years ago
Mongolia's economy is the fastest growing in the world, however, despite Mongolias incredible wealth of minerals, there remains seething resentment over a belief that foreign mining companies, and government leaders, are the only ones benefitting from the boom. Mongolian mining workers say they are being unfairly treated because they are not allowed to work in the big mines. They claim foreign companies that run them often use only their own country's people, and when they do hire Mongolians, they mistreat them and pay far less. Al Jazeera's Steve Chao reports from Nahlai, Mongolia.
