The way the salt mines are run reminds me of the old 19th century railroad robber-barons who would house and feed their workers at an insanely inflated price to keep them under the yoke of debt. Six families would live in a house meant for one which had one cold water tap and a single toilet in the basement. It was degrading and humiliating to work for them, just like these poor salt miners. Unable to change their fate. I now have a new understanding of the phrase: "back to the salt mines!" as a quip when feeling tired and/or overworked. I don't think that I'll be using that phrase anymore...

@johnmenzies6865 Год назад

They have to earn a living and they have been doing so for thousands of years. HOWEVER the real story of mining is very very different. Large industrial scale western mining is NOT dangerous. It far less dangerous than for example construction where death and injury is surprisingly common. A single injury gets reported and investigated no matter how minor. A death is a very grave issue and entire mining operations are closed by the companies during investigation. Only a small portion of teh world's minerals are derived from artisanal miners and jobs with western mining companies in developing countries are highly sought after as they pay more, the team members are all treated with respect and health and safety are paramount. In addition all western companies participate in community programs often in the same communities where the team members live, creating pride in their business.

@@georgea7336 I worked with dangerous materials and methods for years and passed the cost of safety on to my clients, then while working on a farm I found it impossible to recover that cost. The difference was that farms are primary producers and like the humans in this video I now worked for very little because there was very little to go around. Society can do something about this by collecting money to ensure their safety, provide protection directly. We now have the network, I'm thinking something like a Gofundme.
